We are using 40 port 5100B SAN switches in our main site. We need to upgrade the switches.What is the next models available from brocade?

We need another 40 ports(total 80 ports).

Any help?

Hi Raju,

the B5300 has 80 FC-Ports.

Please check before upgrading if the available BB-Credits are enough for you. B5300 has less BB-Credits then B5100.

If you are not using Long-Distance connections, the B5300 should be the correct switch for you.
