Is your network Cloud-Optimized?

Today there is a massive shift in how people consume information at the very edges of the network. Fueled by the promise of the cloud, mobility, and today's data-rich applications, the network itself is undergoing a transformation. To support this transformation, Brocade is committed to helping organizations transition smoothly to a world where information and applications reside and can be accessed anywhere. And Brocade can do this today, whether the objective is a private, public, or hybrid cloud.

Enterprise Products Switches Industry-leading Brocade switches are the foundation for high-performance connectivity in storage, IP, and converged network environments. These highly reliable, scalable, and available switches are designed for a wide range of environments-enabling a low TCO and fast ROI. Routers Brocade offers a complete family of Ethernet routers for enterprise, data center, and service provider networks. With industry-leading performance, reliability, and scalability features, these routers enable highly available and secure networks from the edge to the core. Wireless LAN Access Points Brocade offers a variety of dependent and adaptive Access Points (APs) to support high-performance, reliable, and secure 802.11n-based wireless communications. Brocade Mobility APs are part of an intelligent mesh network that simplifies the connectivity and management of traffic between users, APs, and controllers. Wireless LAN Controllers Brocade Mobility Wireless LAN (WLAN) controllers enable secure, real-time data access in environments ranging from remote offices to large enterprises. These products feature high-performance, high-availability capabilities to boost productivity and improve collaboration on a global basis. SAN Backbones The Brocade DCX 8510 and Brocade DCX Backbone families are designed to unleash the full potential of private cloud storage. With unmatched scalability, performance, and reliability, they are the strategic platforms for transforming current SAN fabrics into cloud-optimized SANs. Brocade backbones enable organizations to meet their most pressing business requirements with a future-proof solution built on proven data center technology. SAN Backbones/Director Blades Brocade offers cost-effective, integrated blades for use in the Brocade DCX Backbone family and Brocade 48000 Directors. These special-purpose blades provide SAN fabric-based services, enable iSCSI (Ethernet) servers to access SAN-based storage, and provide encryption for data-at-rest. SAN Transceivers Brocade optical transceiver modules, also known as Small Form-factor Pluggables (SFPs), plug into Brocade switches, directors, backbones, HBAs, and CNAs to provide Fibre Channel connectivity and satisfy a wide range of speed and distance requirements. Management Software Brocade offers comprehensive network management solutions that help organizations simplify management to improve efficiency and reduce costs. These solutions are designed to unify management in highly dynamic storage, Ethernet, and converged networking environments. Adapters Brocade server connectivity solutions provide enterprise-class SAN and LAN connectivity for servers. The Brocade 1860 Fabric Adapter delivers Brocade virtual Fabric Link (vFLink) I/O virtualization technology to extend Fibre Channel and Ethernet fabric services to the application level in virtualized environments. Brocade also offers 4 and 8 Gbps Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and 10 GbE Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) for tower, rack, and blade servers. Security Appliances Motorola AirDefense Enterprise Appliances for Brocade Mobility solutions provide the industry’s most powerful wireless Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Scaling to meet the needs of global organizations, these appliances provide robust performance monitoring and protection against wireless threats.		Brocade One Strategy One of the most compelling reasons for migrating to the cloud is greater agility in an increasingly dynamic business environment. Achieving this objective requires a network that reduces complexity, supports distributed applications, and increases overall performance. The Brocade One strategy is designed to simplify the migration to the cloud by: Delivering unmatched simplicity by removing architectural complexity and reducing operational costs Providing new levels of network scalability, uptime, and performance through non-stop networking Supporting current and future applications that run on the network through application optimization Delivering investment protection with best-in-class solutions and greater choice through an open, multivendor network architecture
