Brocade Advanced Zoning License

Brocade Advanced Zoning - License Brocade Zoning and Advanced Zoning are features of Brocade SilkWorm switch models (with Advanced Zoning available on Brocade 2 Gbit/sec switches). Using zoning, organizations can automatically or dynamically arrange fabric-connected devices into logical groups (zones) across the physical configuration of the fabric. These zones can include selected storage, servers, and workstations within a Brocade fabric-restricting information access to only the "member" devices in the defined zone. Although zone members can access only other members in their zones, individual devices can be members of more than one zone. This approach enables the secure sharing of storage resources, a primary benefit of storage networks.
