Brocade
Compatibility Statement

This document summarizes equipment known to be compatible with the Brocade product family.
Products named in the compatibility tables reflect equipment tested at Brocade or tested externally.
IMPORTANT:
In an earlier version of this document, published in early 2008, 2 Gbit/sec platforms were removed:
Brocade (SilkWorm) 3000, 3200, 3800, 3014, 3016, 3250, 3850, 3900, 12000, and 24000; and
Brocade AP7420.
Also, Chapter 24 in that earlier version of this document, Scalability, has been moved to a
standalone document entitled, Brocade Scalability Guidelines.
NOTE: This information is constantly being updated. For the latest compatibility information, visit
vendor Web sites, some of which are listed on page 6.
Brocade and its OEM and Developer Partners have tested a wide variety of devices for compatibility
with the Brocade product family. The current list of Brocade products can be found at:
http://www.brocade.com/products/index.jsp
These support and compatibility guidelines were generated for your reference.based on product
testing and operation of products in customer installations. The devices listed are deemed
compatible with Brocade products in a Brocade infrastructure. Brocade cannot provide direct
support for the end nodes or applications listed in this document, but is committed to ensuring
the Brocade infrastructure is operating correctly while integrating with these components. The
components listed in this document are not guaranteed to work in all configurations, but Brocade is
committed to helping customers with a valid Brocade Support Contract to resolve any compatibility
issues.
NOTE: If an item is not listedIt simply means that it has not been tested. It does not mean that it is
incompatible.
In this document, the term compatibility means having the ability to connect to the Brocade
product, to register with the name server (if appropriate), and to support a moderate level of I/O.
Users of this list should plan on validating their specific configuration with a level of testing
appropriate to their application.
Brocade expects suppliers of complete solutions (OEM or Integration Partners) to provide details on
configurations they have certified. This document provides the basis for integrators to assemble
working systems that they can support and certify. However, Brocade cannot certify that any
components on this list, when attached to any other component via our switching products, will
operate with no issues. Brocade is committed to actively testing and correcting any issues with its
product and to work with Partners to help resolve compatibility issues as they are reported.
Sections titled Brocade Compatibility Matrix Quick Reference and Brocade Compatibility Matrix by
Vendor provide an overview of devices that are compatible within a Brocade infrastructure.
Guidance is provided on products that are known to integrate with a Brocade infrastructure. To
ensure proper integration, users should refer questions on configuration details to their OEM or
Brocade Data Center Ready Compatibility Matrix

Brocade Compatibility Statement

integrator supporting these devices. Brocade expects that the solution provider will supply detailed
guidelines on the correct firmware, driver, and configuration settings required to ensure that specific
needs are met.
By the date of publication of this document, vendors may offer more recent software support for
their products. Users of this document should refer questions on end-to-end interoperability to their
OEM or Integration Partner. Your support provider can assist with the proper configuration and
tuning of your end-to-end solution. The products listed in this document are considered compatible
in a Brocade infrastructure.

Data Center Ready Program


A check mark in the Data Center Ready column in the Brocade Compatible Matrix Quick
Reference sections indicates products that have been tested within the guidelines of the Brocade
Data Center Ready Partner program. This program provides a set of key guidelines to ensure that
partners' products meet the minimum requirements for compatibility in a Brocade networked
storage environment. Data Center Ready is intended to provide additional assurance that standard
off-the-shelf components can integrate seamlessly in an existing Brocade infrastructure. More
information on the Data Center Ready program can be found at:
http://www.brocade.com/partners/data_center_ready_program.jsp
In addition to the product testing performed by Brocade, Brocade OEM and Development Partners
also have extensive testing programs. Each of these partners might maintain their own compatibility,
interoperability, or support guidelines and can provide detailed information on the configurations
they support. Products and product variants not specifically listed in this document might be
compatible and supported in a production Storage Area Network (SAN) infrastructure. Your OEM or
Integration Partner is the first line for questions on supported devices, fabric configuration, firmware
or Fabric OS selection, and settings for end-to-end solution deployment.
