BROCADE

VDX 6720

SWITCH

HIGHLIGHTS

• Simplies and automates network

architectures and enables elastic

cloud networking with Brocade VCS

Fabric technology

• Manages an entire VCS fabric as a single

switch with Brocade VCS Logical Chassis

• Delivers high performance and ultra-low

latency through wire-speed ports with

600-nanosecond port-to-port latency and

automated hardware-based Inter-Switch

Link (ISL) trunking

• Provides efciently load-balanced

multipathing at Layers 1, 2, and 3,

and multiple Layer 3 gateways

• Simplies virtualized server management

by providing Virtual Machine (VM) mobility

with dynamic server prole conguration

and migration

• Provides storage connectivity for Fibre

Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI,

and NAS

Revolutionizing the Way Data

Center Networks Are Built

Seeking better ways to build clouds and

virtualized data centers, today’s IT

organizations are turning to high-

performance networking solutions that

increase exibility through leading-edge

technologies. The Brocade

VDX

6720

Switch is a high-performance 10 Gigabit

Ethernet (GbE) xed conguration switch

with LAN ports that supports the most

demanding business applications. It is

specically designed to improve network

utilization, maximize application availability,

increase scalability, and dramatically

simplify network architecture in virtualized

data centers. The Brocade VDX 6720 with

Brocade VCS

Fabric technology is an ideal

platform for a variety of Top-of-Rack (ToR)

fabric deployments (see Figure 1).

The Brocade VDX 6720 is available in two

models—the 2U Brocade VDX 6720-60 with

60 10 GbE LAN ports, and the 1U Brocade

VDX 6720-24 with 24 10 GbE LAN ports.

Both models deliver high performance for

intra-rack trafc in virtualized environments,

provide ultra-low latency of 600

nanoseconds for the same ASIC on the

switch, and offer low power consumption,

making the Brocade VDX 6720 ideal for

demanding data center environments. This

helps organizations design a network with

no oversubscription for deterministic

network performance and improved

application response times. In addition,

the Brocade VDX 6720 provides storage

connectivity for Fibre Channel over Ethernet

(FCoE), iSCSI, and NAS.

AN INTELLIGENT FOUNDATION FOR

CLOUD COMPUTING

Brocade VCS Fabric technology is an

innovative technology that enables

organizations to build high-performance,

cloud-optimized data centers while

preserving existing network designs and

cabling, and gaining active-active server

connections. For scale-out fabric

architectures, Brocade VCS Fabric
