The Brocade M6140 is a high-performing, flexible building block for large, data-dependent enterprises. It is the only single-stage, 140-port director that will support transfer rates of 1 to up to 10 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel. It can meet a broad range of application performance needs. The high port concentration of the Brocade M6140 means less complicated connectivity, management and deployment, and supports the most critical business requirements.

The Brocade M6140 adds capacity in 4-port increments for low cost scalability, supports FICON and Fibre Channel traffic at the same time, supports N_Port Virtualization (NPIV), simplifies management of heterogeneous environments, enables code activation without interruption, improves application throughput, and provides throughput and response times over distance.

Brocade M-EOS fabrics including the Brocade M6140 support interoperability with Brocade 48000 Directors. The Brocade 10 Gbit/sec XPM Blade upgrades existing m6000 Series Director to 10 Gbit/sec. Link speeds increase between existing Brocade M6140 directors to 4 Gbit/sec without replacing switches. The Brocade 4 Gbit/sec QPM Blade is the low cost way for Brocade M6140 Director users to buy the capacity they need when they need it.
