8/80 SAN Switch
Simplifies enterprise SAN deployment by combining higher port count density with exceptional
scalability, performance and reliability
Delivers 48, 64, or 80-ports in a 2U enclosure
Meets enterprise level availability requirements with redundant, hot pluggable components, no-
single-points-of-failure within the switch
Provides 1 Gb, 2 Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb/s* performance
Employs optional Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking to provide a high-speed data path between
switches which enables a high speed data path between 8Gb/s switches up to 64 Gbit/sec
*Full 8Gb/s end to end storage performance requires 8 Gb/s HBAs, 8Gb/s controllers, and 8Gb/s switches.
8Gb/s ISL performance can be obtained between two 8Gb/s switches.

Software Components, Standard, Base Models
Frame Filtering
An ASIC based capability that enables new applications and features. The switch has the ability to "view"
the first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced capabilities
such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance Monitoring.
Advanced Zoning
WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same simple administration
previously enforced only with software. Administrators can organize a physical fabric into logical groups
and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.
Web Tools
Web Tools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to monitor and
manage SAN fabrics. Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a standard laptop,
desktop PC or workstation from any location within the enterprise.
