Brocade SAN Switch Models

1. Brocade have dropped the Silkworm branding, so I have dropped it too.
2. Each switch type has sub-types, for example 34.0 and 34.1.  The difference is a sub-version number which is normally not published or documented.
3. IBM  announced 16 Gbps SAN switches on August 16, 2011 so I updated the chart on that date.

If you use Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM), it actually displays the Switch Type using Brocade model names.    Here is an example report from the DCFM we are running in my lab.  This level of information is very helpful.
