2. Features

Superb Cost-Effectiveness and Efficiency
Provides "pay-as-you-grow" flexibility and Ports on Demand (PoD) capabilities for port expansion, with speeds up to 16 Gbit/s.
Unleashes the full potential of private cloud with unmatched scalability, performance, and reliability.
Simplifies and centralizes end-to-end SAN management with comprehensive diagnostics, monitoring, and automation.

 

Excellent Reliability and Ease-of-Use
Uses enterprise-class Gen 5 Fibre Channel technology to deliver robust reliability and support non-stop running of mission-critical tasks. Advanced monitoring, diagnostics, and RAS functions improve availability, optimize performance, and simplify management to the maximum extent. Enterprise features are as follows:
Critical diagnostic and monitoring capabilities: Help ensure early fault detection and recovery.
Non-intrusive and non-disruptive monitoring on every port: Provides a comprehensive end-to-end view of the entire fabric.
Forward Error Correction (FEC): Enables recovery from bit errors in links, enhancing transmission reliability and performance.
Extra buffer: Helps overcome performance deterioration and congestion due to buffer credit loss.

Real-time monitoring of bandwidth consumption by hosts/applications on ISLs: Helps easily identify hot spots and potential network congestion.

 

Simplified Deployment
Automated and simplified SAN management enables data centers to quickly adapt to changes, preventing service interruption in the private cloud infrastructure. Advanced diagnostics, monitoring, and management capabilities simplify end-to-end SAN management and reduce costs.
Simpler server configuration and modification management, advanced cable/optical module diagnostics, and comprehensive management capabilities reduce operational costs.
Diagnostic Ports (D_Ports) help identify and isolate faults in optical modules and cables, accelerating fabric architecture deployment and fault diagnosis.
Network Advisor software provides comprehensive capabilities to manage the fabric architecture of a data center, such as configuring, monitoring, and managing Brocade backbone networks, switches, and adapters, thereby minimizing service interruption.
