SilkWorm
2010 provides high-speed connectivity for FC-AL environments. An
arbitrated loop is formed by logically connecting all 8 ports on
the switch into a single loop. SilkWorm 2010 delivers better
performance, availability, and investment protection than
hub-based solutions by providing support for simultaneous data
transfers to and from all ports, superior fault isolation, and
easy migration to a Full Fabric through a software key.
SilkWorm 2040 delivers
market-leading price performance for Entry Fabric configurations.
SilkWorm 2040 provides Fabric Services, such as Simple Name
Server. With the addition of a software key, SilkWorm 2040 becomes
a Full Fabric switch.
SilkWorm 2050 provides
market-leading price performance for Full Fabric configurations.
SilkWorm 2050 supports cascading, a Full Fabric Service that
enables any device on the Fabric to connect to any other device.
Cascading enables a resilient multi-switch Fabric. It enables
automatic data routing and re-routing, self-healing, and almost
unlimited scalability. |
