No Longer Orderable This product has reached end-of-life and is no longer orderable. It is superceded by the next generation Brocade 5000 Switch1. The Brocade M4400 Switch is the ideal solution for the entry-level SAN market. It is the perfect building block for small or medium SANs that leverage the Sun StorageTek 3000 and 6000 families, as well as an excellent edge attachment for large enterprise SANs using the Sun StorageTek 9900 series or for tape deployments with Sun L-Series tape. It is the only full-featured Fibre Channel switch available in a half-rack width configuration, providing unmatched flexibility of deployment and scalability. This aggressively priced, 16-port, 4 Gb/sec switch addresses a range of small to mid-tier applications and meets the ever-changing needs of today's business. You can begin with as few as 8 ports and grow capacity in 4-port increments (leveraging Brocades's industry-first FlexPort technology). The Brocade M4400 Switch delivers ISL capability on every port and can auto-negotiate to 2 and 1 Gb/sec to protect existing investments. Key Benefits: FlexPort technology - Pay-as-you-grow connectivity Scalability from 8 to 16 non-blocking ports in 4-port increments High performance 4 Gb/sec technology (and auto-negotiates to 2 and 1 Gb/sec) Installation flexibility with a half-rack width configuration Availability with optional hot-swap redundant power supply Ease of use with installation wizard Flexibility with dynamic buffer credit configuration
