Concerns with Bladed Servers:
Access Gateway offers these benefits:
•Difficult to connect to McDATA fabrics
•Limited SAN scalability
•Obscure Admin responsibility (SAN admin vs
Server admin)
•Connects to McDATA Fabrics
•Simplifies fabric & allows greater scalability

AG Feature Support Statement
AG is supported on the 4Gb Brocade SAN Switch Module for
BladeCenter and SAN16B-2:
• FOS 5.2.1b or above for SAN Switch Module for BladeCenter
• FOS 5.3+ for SAN16B-2
Access Gateway feature requires that NPIV (N-port ID
virtualization) capability be enabled on the external switches:
• Brocade switches running FOS 5.1 with NPIV enabled
• McDATA switches running EOS 9.0 with NPIV enabled
– M-EOS 9.6 offers NPIV in base code
• Cisco switches running OS 3.0 with NPIV enabled
October 2007
® 2007 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.

33
Typical AG Deployment Scenarios
Use AG Feature only when needed to help overcome an issue.
Default mode for switch module should always be FC switch.
When to use AG?
• Enterprise and large data centers where the fabric size is becoming a burden
– Greater than 50 switches in an all b-type (Brocade) fabric
– Greater than 30 switches in a fabric that includes m-type (McDATA) products
• Connecting BladeCenter or 16B-2 to McDATA or Cisco SAN fabrics
– Requires NPIV feature on the external switches
• Customer’s SAN Admin group does not want an embedded switch in server products
(i.e. BladeCenter)
When NOT to use AG?
• Connecting SAN targets (such as storage) directly to switch module
• Environments where customers require switch features not supported by AG
– ISL Trunking
– Long Distance support greater than 10km (using Extended Fabric license)

IBM SAN vs EMC SAN
Not All Ports are Created Equal
When bidding against EMC and MDS make sure the customer knows:
1.
2.
3.
With EMC-MDS, you can have 4Gb ports or you can have 528 ports, but
you can’t have both
•
The MDS is a 132 port dedicated 4Gb director
•
Only 48Gbs bandwidth per director slot vs Brocade’s 64Gbs
•
MDS has no local switching; all traffic must pass through crossbar
•
If you want guaranteed 4Gb on a 24 or 48 card, other ports turn off by default
On EMC-MDS, there is a 252 port hard limit with any 1st gen linecards
•
Any 2Gb, FCIP, iSCSI, SSM (SANtap, FastWrite) cards make 9513 have 252 max
•
Linecards that take port total over 252 will not power on
•
EMC using Invista and RecoverPoint mean that customer loses ports in their director
Environmentals are poor -- will the EMC MDS fit in the data center?
•
12 to 16 amps, 2 to 3 kilowatts in large configurations
•
9513 requires Side-side AND back-back cooling – EMC has ‘special’ extra wide rack
•
Fan tray is one FRU with a single power connector, 170 seconds to replace it

Brocade-IBM Sales Programs
SAN140M and SAN256M “Cheaper By the Dozen” 4 Gbps Blade Upgrade Programs (thru 12/31/07)
• These programs are designed to encourage greater commitment to 2027-140 and 2027-256 directors by
offering deeper discounts when twelve or more blades are ordered.
• Purchase (12+) 4 Gbps switch blade upgrades for 2027-140 directors or (12+) 4 Gbps switch blade
upgrades for 2027-256 directors.
• Combinations of blades should be considered as groups of three blades (a “3-pack”). Within a 3-pack, two
(2) blades will be sold at “normal” prices and the third blade will be at no charge. A minimum of four (4) 3packs (12 blades) is required to participate in this program. All blades in a 3-pack must be of the same type;
however 3-packs of different blade types may be combined to meet the minimum requirement of four 3packs. Additional 3-packs may be ordered.
• Any number of directors may participate. Blades do not need to be installed as a 3-pack on any one
director; blades may be distributed across all approved directors as desired.
• These two programs do not use RPQs. A Brocade Deals Desk nomination form must be prepared by a
Brocade field sales person and submitted to Brocade for approval. If approved, a Letter of Agreement
(LOA) will be prepared by Brocade which will be forwarded to IBM Procurement.
• The IBM/BP sales team must submit an IBM Special Bid Request in order to obtain approval for this special
pricing citing the LOA to document Brocade’s price concession.

Value Proposition: Solving for disaster recovery and business continuity, distance
replication or “SAN Extension” involves moving Fibre Channel frames over an IP network.
The IBM SAN B-type family of routers utilizes the industry standard FCIP protocol and FC
Routing to better manage the IP routing across the link. Specialized management tools are
available to optimize bandwidth (FastWrite, Tape Pipelining, Compression and Virtual
Tunnels), to better manage lossy networks (Storage Optimized TCP) and provide security
(encryption). These enhanced features allow more efficient use of the IP link, so customers
can send more data over the link in less time, and optimize their WAN link performance to
save money.
IBM/BROCADE Products:
Telco Services: BROCADE’s status as a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) means
that BROCADE resells TELCO bandwidth - allowing customers to have one vendor for their
complete distance solution. No other SAN vendor can provide this service. BROCADE’s
telco services enable short term IP links for one-time data migrations, and/or longer term
contracts complete with proactive network monitoring capabilities.

Value Proposition: IBM TotalStorage SAN18B-R and the M48 FC Routing Blade allow SAN
consolidation within the data center as expensive resources like a disk array or tape library can
be shared among many SANs without joining those SANs. Utilizing these IBM TotalStorage SAN
b-type router products enables administrators to maintain separate SANs, like a Brocade and a
McDATA SAN, or an IBM and EMC SAN but still share devices between them. Each individual
SAN can run in native or open mode (Brocade and McDATA Native modes are supported), and
domain IDs can be shared across SANs.
These SAN b-type routers ability to provide fault and administration isolation are particularly
useful when connecting to remote sites where WAN fluctuations and separate admin groups are
common.

Value Proposition: For an end-to-end IBM System Storage solution, disk-to-disk and disk-totape replication over distance is provided by using the IBM SAN256B and/or SAN18B-R products
that enable FASTWrite (disk-to-disk) and tape pipelining. BROCADE’s extension products are
designed for optimum performance over IP networks for IBM Global Mirroring and remote tape
vaulting solutions.
The FC Routing capabilities of these products allow administrators to maintain separate SANs
but still share the remote tape library. Thus providing fault and administration isolation when
connecting to the remote site where WAN fluctuations and separate admin groups are common.

Cascaded GDPS Solutions.
SAN256M
With its buffer credit power and unique 10 Gb capability, the SAN256M can drive distances of
beyond 190KM at 10Gb/s synchronous speeds over dark fiber. This means that customers can
now drive active-active data center strategies, reducing costly capital outlays required to maintain
completely redundant hot standby data centers for disaster recovery. IBMs Global and Metro
Mirroring is the perfect technology to drive this approach. Remote fabrics come standard with
SAN256M Directors.

Value Proposition: When the customer has only 2 or 4Gb/s connections between sites then
BROCADE’s ISL Trunking feature provides high performance and resilient links for active / active
data center traffic. ISL Trunking takes up to eight 4Gb/s links and creates a logical trunk and may
balance traffic at the FC frame level to provide the optimum bandwidth utilization. ISL Trunks also
increase availability of the link since any one failure of a member link does not cause data traffic
reroutes to occur. Combined with BROCADE’s Extended Fabric license, ISL Trunks are supported up
to 100km for 10Gb/s trunks and 50km for 32Gb/s trunks.
ISL Trunks perfectly complement IBMs Metro Mirroring to build a Cascaded GDPS solution.
Note that Fabric OS v5.2 includes the “fabric binding” capability necessary for FICON cascading.
Secure Fabric OS licenses are no longer required.

Value Proposition: This Mainframe distance solution includes the SAN256B with the M48 FC
Routing Blade (FC 3450) and is sold entirely through IBM System Storage. Using the FC over IP
capability of the FC Routing Blade, the SAN256B allows XRC solutions that are totally integrated
within the directors and can span up to 300km between sites. If the customer prefers not to
integrate the FC Routing blade into the SAN256B director then the SAN18B-R FC Router provides
the same functionality in a 1 rack unit switch. Additionally, the SAN18B-R FC Router in the
recovery site can connect to the director and M48 routing blade in the primary datacenter. This
solution may offer the customer a more cost-effective BCDR option.
Specialized management tools are available to optimize bandwidth, to better manage lossy
networks (Storage Optimized TCP) and provide security (encryption). These enhanced features
allow more efficient use of the IP link, so customers can send more data over the link in less time,
and optimize their WAN link performance to save money.
