ISL Trunking Advanced Zoning Secure Fabric OS FICON® CUP Optimizes the performance and availability of SAN fabrics while simplifying ISL management. Two 4 Gbit/sec Brocade switches can automatically group up to eight ISLs into a single logical trunk with a total throughput of up to 32 Gbit/sec. Automatically groups SAN fabric-connected devices into logical zones that restrict access to member devices in the zone. Advanced Zoning uses hardware enforcement at both the port and WWN level to provide more robust data protection. Provides a comprehensive security solution to help protect mission-critical data. Key features include centralized policy-based security management, management data encryption, and authentication to create a fabric-wide trusted environment with control over all levels of fabric access and communication. Enables IBM host-based management programs to manage FICON fabric switches in-band by sending commands to the Fabric OS emulated control device.
