Brocade Fabric Manager is a powerful application that manages multiple Brocade switches and fabrics in real time. In particular, Fabric Manager provides the essential functions for efficiently configuring, monitoring, dynamically provisioning, and managing Brocade SAN fabrics on a daily basis.
Through its single-point SAN management platform, Fabric Manager facilitates the global integration and execution of management tasks across multiple fabrics-thereby lowering the overall cost of SAN ownership. As a result, it provides a flexible and powerful tool optimized to provide organizations with rapid access to critical SAN information.
