Scenario:

A company has been using a Fibre Channel infrastructure for the last three years. The company is located in a nine-story building but is currently occupying eight floors. Each of the nine floors has its own Brocade 8 Gb SAN Switch with Fibre Channel, which has a license for eight ports. Each department hosts a single Windows 2008 terminal server host for connection to their storage and data applications on the SAN, which is in the data center on the first floor. Each Brocade 8/8 switch is connected to the floor above and below by a single fibre connection. Refer to the Scenario:

The company recently moved their executive members to the ninth floor. The executive assistants are receiving random messages from their mail client indicating that they are not able to connect to their server. The assistants did not experience these issues until they moved. Without upgrading their current infrastructure, which action should the company take to resolve this issue?
