I have 3 media servers and a NetApp filer connected via Fiber Cable to a Brocade 5000 series switch which is then connected to tape drives in an SL8500 tape library. What is the purpose for the Brocade switch? Do I need it, or can I just connect the media servers and NetApp filer directly to the SL8500 tape library via fiber?
