The Brocade 3873-AR1 is a Brocade 300 Fibre Channel SAN switch, a 1U-high, 24-port, 8 Gbit/s FC switch confirmed via multiple independent sources (IBM, Lenovo/Lenovo Partsource, eBay, Inside Systems) as the Lenovo/IBM OEM part number for this switch, with alternate cross-reference numbers 00MY792 and 00MY815. The Brocade 300 is a networking-optimised Fibre Channel switch designed for smaller, highly virtualised server and storage environments, supporting scalable Ports on Demand (PoD) licensing so port count can grow with demand, in a compact, low-power 1U footprint. It provides a high-performance switching platform for interconnecting storage devices, hosts and servers within a storage area network (SAN). Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies this as a tested spare for organisations still running Brocade 300 SAN infrastructure, where original units are long out of production. Get in touch with our engineers to confirm compatibility with your specific SAN fabric and licensing requirements before ordering, and to arrange a quote.
