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

6710

Switch is a high-performance 1 Gigabit

Ethernet(GbE)xedcongurationswitch

that provides a reliable, scalable, and

exiblefoundationforsupportingthemost

demanding business applications. It

features 48 1 GbE copper interfaces and

six 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces, making the

Brocade VDX 6710 with Brocade VCS

Fabric technology an ideal platform for

Top-of-Rack (ToR) fabric deployments

in existing 1 GbE server environments

(see Figure 1).

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

technologyallowsorganizationstoatten

network designs, provide Virtual Machine

(VM) mobility without network

reconguration,andmanagetheentire
