Brocade VDX Switches

Features and Benefits

Brocade VDX Switches HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW-LATENCY SWITCHES FOR DATA CENTER ETHERNET CONNECTIVITY

To remain competitive, IT organizations must keep pace with the ever-increasing growth of Virtual Machines (VMs), distributed applications and data while ensuring that their budgetary or resource requirements do not skyrocket. While virtualization has provided the benefits of faster deployment and consolidation, it also tends to put additional stress on data center networks. In addition, the move towards cloud computing, which promises greater efficiency and more of a service-oriented business model, creates the need for flexible and responsive datacenter infrastructure. Data centers need networks that are operationally efficient, automated and elastic in addition to being capable of delivering high performance. The Brocade VDX Switches enable the deployment of easy to manage datacenters with the ability to scale, in order to meet future requirements. The Brocade VDX 6740 (Figure 1) offers 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFP+ ports and four 40 GbE QSFP+ ports. Each 40 GbE port can be broken out into four independent 10 GbE SFP+ ports, providing an additional 16 10 GbE SFP+ ports. In addition, the switch features low power consumption, consuming 2 watts per 10 GbE port. It is available in the following models
	Brocade VDX 6740-24-F with Port Side Exhaust Airflow 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFP+ ports and four 40 GbE QSFP+ ports (24 active 10GbE ports, 1U form factor)	E7Y24A
	Brocade VDX 6740-24-F with Non Port Side Exhaust Airflow 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFP+ ports and four 40 GbE QSFP+ ports (24 active 10GbE ports, 1U form factor	E7Y25A

Key Features and Benefits
Brocade VDX 6740 Supports Data Center Bridging (DCB), which enables the reliable exchange of storage traffic over the LAN network The 40 GbE SFP+ ports offer the flexibility to expand and interconnect the network infrastructure intelligently and efficiently while reducing bottlenecks. Improves capacity by allowing datacenter administrators to create an 80 GbE trunk by utilizing two 40 GbE ports, or a 160 GbE trunk with 16 10 GbE ports Delivers high performance and reduces network congestion with 10 GbE ports, low latency, and 24 MB deep buffers Delivers very low latency through wire-speed ports with 850 ns any-port-to-any port latency With a choice of front-to-back or back-to-front airflow, these switches are ideal for ToR deployments connecting servers, storage, and other switches, as well as for providing compatibility for either hot aisle or cold aisle data center designs.
