Optimized, Certified Optical Transceivers for Extending Data Center Networks
Today’s enterprise data centers and networking environments are undergoing an infrastructure transformation, requiring higher speeds, greater scalability, and higher levels of performance and reliability to better meet the demands of business. As speed and performance needs increase, optical transceivers have become an integral part of overall system design. However, optical transceiver design margins andparameters vary widely, and can be the difference between an optimized, highly reliable fabric and incompatibility issues that drive up support costs.
The Brocade® 40 Gbps SR Bi-Directional QSFP+, part of the Brocade family of optical transceivers, is optimized to fully leverage Brocade 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches and routers. Together, these optical transceivers provide state-of-the-art performance, helping IT organizations achieve new levels of infrastructure consolidation while expanding the capabilities of their applications and services.
End-to-End Compatibility and Reliability
The Brocade 40 Gbps SR Bi-Directional QSFP+ supports highly reliable operations in data center networks, and is optimized for Brocade switching platforms. It undergoes rigorous qualification and certification testing to provide an end-to-end solution that is easier to maintain—helping improve the availability of data center networks supporting mission-critical applications.
