Brocade's SilkWorm family of fabric switches connects servers and storage devices throughout Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) fabrics. These high-speed, robust storage networks enable organizations to access and share data in a high-performance, manageable, and scalable manner.

The SilkWorm family of products is fully forward and backward compatible. This capability enables organizations to migrate from 1 to 2 Gbit/sec SAN environments and deploy a highly scalable core-to-edge storage networking infrastructure. SilkWorm switch models range in size from 8 to dual 64 ports, and can function as standalone, edge, or core switches, depending upon specific SAN requirements.
