Brocade is an industry leader in data center networking
solutions and services that enable organizations to manage their most vital
information assets. It’s no wonder that Global 500 companies rely on Brocade
technology to keep their businesses running around the clock.
Brocade has pioneered the technologies that enable highly reliable and secure data center connectivity. Today most of the world’s data flows through Brocade equipment and data center networks built on Brocade technology.
From award-winning data center infrastructure and file management products to innovative solutions and services, Brocade provides IT organizations with effective ways to get the most value from their data centers technology investments.
Brocade continues to revolutionize the data center by developing innovative architectures and platforms, striving for the highest level of interoperability, and furthering standards development. Through industry-leading Brocade technologies, organizations can build next-generation data centers that are designed to provide maximum value today and well into the future.
The Brocade DCF architecture is an intelligent, policy-based framework designed to help build the most efficient, cost-effective data center fabrics based on an organization’s particular business needs.
Brocade has made significant investments in developing and enhancing the technologies that address the needs and requirements of today and tomorrow's Ethernet network infrastructures.
Brocade incorporates intelligence directly into its storage networking solutions to create highly available, scalable, and secure environments for storage applications.
True compatibility, or interoperability, is possible only through extensive testing, a broad range of partnerships, and the right technology. Because Brocade supports native fabric interoperability throughout its comprehensive family of SAN backbones, directors, and switches, organizations can expand their existing fabrics and build new SANs in the most seamless, efficient, and supportable manner possible. This level of compatibility means that host and/or storage nodes communicate using interconnected Fibre Channel switches from multiple vendors.
Interoperability within a SAN today is commonplace, since no single vendor provides switches, storage nodes, and host nodes (HBAs). In fact, virtually every SAN has more than one HBA vendor and multiple storage vendors (a disk vendor and a tape vendor or two different disk vendors, for example). Moreover, SAN device interoperability is well understood: SAN vendors provide compatibility matrix documents and have extensive experience designing, implementing, managing, and troubleshooting heterogeneous fabrics.
Brocade performs rigorous compatibility testing of its products with those from leading OEMs, strategic partners, and system integrators. In addition to testing, Brocade maintains the largest portfolio of Fibre Channel-based solutions and publishes certified interoperability solutions for enterprise SANs. Brocade provides a detailed list of devices and applications tested by Brocade, OEM Partners, and developer partners for compatibility with Brocade SAN solutions.
Through investments in new technologies and interoperability labs, Brocade continues to further standards development and facilitate end-to-end interoperability in heterogeneous environments.
Brocade offers the highest level of fabric switching and device compatibility, helping organizations maximize the value of their data center infrastructure investments.
