Brocade VDX 6710 SAN Switch

Brocade VDX 6710 SAN Switch

The Brocade VDX6710-54 SAN Switch is a high-performance 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) fixed configuration switch that provides a reliable, scalable, and flexible foundation for supporting the most demanding business applications. It offers a cost-effective solution for connecting 1 GbE servers to an Ethernet fabric using Brocade VCS Fabric technology.

The VDX 6710 Switch is specifically designed to improve network utilization, maximize application availability, increase scalability, and dramatically simplify network architecture in virtualized data centers. It features 48 1 GbE copper interfaces and six 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces, making the Brocade VDX 6710 an ideal platform for Top-of-Rack (ToR) fabric deployments in existing 1 GbE server environments. Brocade VDX switches deliver Brocade VCS Fabric technology, an innovative approach to networking 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 flatten network designs, provide Virtual Machine (VM) mobility without network reconfiguration, and manage the entire fabric more efficiently.

Additional Brocade VDX 6710 highlights include:

• Supports existing 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) data center server connectivity
• Maximizes performance through 48 wire-speed 1 GbE ports with 600 nanosecond port-to-port latency and hardware-based Inter-Switch Link (ISL) trunking
• Simplifies network architectures and enables cloud computing by delivering Brocade VCS Fabric technology
• Provides efficiently load-balanced multipathing at Layers 1, 2, and 3, with multiple Layer 3 gateways
• Simplifies networking infrastructure by eliminating STP and providing multi-homed active-active server connections for Ethernet networks
• Simplifies virtualization server management by providing Virtual Machine (VM) mobility with dynamic server profile configuration
