SilkWorm Family of Switches

To help protect existing investments, the SilkWorm family of products is fully forward and backward compatible. This capability enables organizations to migrate from 1 to 2 Gbit/sec SAN environments and deploy a highly scalable core-to-edge storage networking infrastructure. SilkWorm switch models range in size from 8 to dual 64 ports, and can function as standalone, edge, or core switches, depending upon specific SAN requirements. Certain models, such as the SilkWorm 12000, are well suited for cores in larger SAN's but can also function effectively as standalone or edge switches.
