Brocade M6505 Brocade M5424 Dell 8/4Gbps SAN module Dell 8/4Gbps Pass-Through
Overview
High-performance 16Gb Switch
Transform SAN connectivity with maximum
throughput and advanced management
features for virtualized environments.
Advanced 8Gb Switch
Connect directly to the Fibre Channel
SAN, by-passing any external switches and
reducing cables, optics, and management.
Basic 8Gb Switch
Gain the benefits of port aggregation,
fail over, and redundancy without the
complexities of additional SAN switches.
Basic 8Gb Aggregator
Directly connect and isolate bandwidth
between servers and any Fibre Channel
SAN infrastructure.

ISL Trunking
(for Brocade FC devices only)
Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking allows all eight external SAN ports to be combined to
form a single, logical ISL, delivering scalable I/O bandwidth utilization and load balancing
with an aggregate bandwidth of 128 Gbps (M6505 model) and 64 Gbps (M5424 model).
