The capability to aggregate from two to four ISLs
into a single logical route between switches
creating up to an 8.5 Gbit/sec link between
switches. The only industry product that provides
HW based Frame striping while still
guaranteeing in order delivery of data.

Brocade SilkWorm Multiprotocol Router
Extend SAN value to any size, over multiple networks, across distance
iSCSI-to-FC Bridging Service
– Bridge from iSCSI to Fibre Channel SANs
– Connect lower-cost Ethernet-connected
servers to Brocade SANs
FC-FC
FC-to-FC Routing Service
– Logically connect SAN islands
– Enable shared resource access across
multiple fabrics
– Maintain administration and fault isolation of
separately managed fabrics

FCIP Tunneling Service
– Seamlessly, reliably extend Brocade
SANs across MAN/WAN IP networks
Where you should position MPR
 Tiered storage opportunities
 Where legacy SANs are above 15 switches per fabric
 Where Islands of SAN exist
 Where merging fabrics is not possible
 Where SAN’s purchased from different OEMs exist
 Where a unified Tape SAN makes technical sense
 Where short-haul IP replication is required
 Where fault isolation is mandatory
 Where fabric based applications are a prospect
 iSCSI consideration in the strategy

Why you should position MPR
 New Technology Solution
 Expanding the Importance of the SAN
 A New Conversation With Existing Customers
 Potential to Leverage Sales in Non HP Accounts
 New Service Opportunity
 Increases Account Control

Example 1 – SAN Island Connectivity
• Simplified scalability of
SANs by interconnecting
islands using routing
• Connect and organize
heterogeneous resources
• Selective sharing or full
consolidation across
multiple SANs
• Ease of implementation
and management using
existing skill sets and
practices
