The Brocade 48000 provides high availability, multiprotocol connectivity, and extensive asset protection for Brocade Fabric OS and Brocade M-Enterprise OS (M-EOS). It scales from 32 to 384 along with active 4 or 8 Gbit/sec full-duplex ports in a single domain.

Additionally, the Brocade 48000 provides power and cooling efficiency, which helps reduce the total cost of ownership. It also supports blades for Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP SAN extension, and iSCSI, and is designed to support a wide range of fabric-based applications. It also supports the Brocade FC10-6 blade, which provides 10 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel data transfer for specific types of data-intensive storage applications.

The Brocade 48000 is a reliable foundation for core-to-edge SANs, which enables fabrics capable of supporting thousands of hosts and storage devices. To provide even higher performance, the Brocade ISL Trunking combines up to eight 8 Gbit/sec ports between switches into a single, logical high-speed trunk running at up to 64 Gbit/sec. Other services provide additional Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Management capabilities to optimize performance.
