Optional Brocade Features Optional Brocade features include: Advanced Performance Monitoring Enables more effective end-to-end SAN performance analysis to enhance performance tuning, increase productivity, optimize resource utilization, and reduce costs. Extended Fabrics Supports the reliable, high-speed connectivity of SilkWorm switches over dark fiber or Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment at distances up to 500 kilometers to enhance business continuance operations. Fabric Watch Continuously monitors SAN fabrics for potential faults based on thresholds set for a variety of SAN fabric elements and events-automatically alerting administrators to potential problems before they become costly failures. ISL Trunking Optimizes the performance and availability of SAN fabrics while simplifying ISL management. Two 4 Gbit/sec SilkWorm switches can automatically group up to eight ISLs into a single logical "trunk" with a total throughput of up to 32 Gbit/sec. Advanced Zoning 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. Fabric OS v5.2.X Documentation Addendum ix Publication Number: 53-1000429-01-HP
