Brocade 300 Technical Specifications
The Brocade 300 SAN Switch is a cost-effective and highly-scalable 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps switch, designed for small to mid-sized
businesses. The Brocade 300 SAN Switch is a dual purpose device that you can use either as a full-functioned switch or as an N_Port
ID Virtualization (NPIV) access gateway. When functioning as an access gateway, the Brocade 300 SAN Switch provides a single
platform for all SAN connectivity.
