Brocade VDX6740-24-F Non-Port Side Exhaust Airflow Switch

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.
