Brocade launches new high-performance cards with high port density
Brocade® has launched three new cards designed to integrate into its two most important platforms: the Brocade NetIron MLX Series platform and the Brocade DCX Backbone platform.
These new cards deliver high performance and port density at wire-speed to handle the increasing traffic on service provider networks and the rapid growth of server virtualization in data centers. The new cards also ensure protection of customers' existing network infrastructure investments.
Brocade has achieved this milestone in performance and density with the new Blade 8x10G-M Series for Carrier Ethernet networks and the Blade 8x10G-D Series for data centers. These new line cards double the previous port density with 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) wire-speed switching capability for the NetIron MLX, up to 256 ports in a single chassis. Brocade has also launched the 64-port, 8 Gbps blade for the DCX: the Brocade FC8-64 Blade, a card with a density of up to 512 ports per chassis.
Wire-speed routing capability for service providers and data centers.
Line-speed performance is becoming increasingly essential as rising data traffic drives demand for greater capacity from Ethernet carriers and data center networks. Designed for service providers, the new Brocade 8x10G-M Series blade for the NetIron MLX offers double the throughput and capacity and provides full IPv4/IPv6, MPLS, and VPLS functionality. Ideal for
large data centers and high-performance environments, the new Brocade 8x10G-D Series blade for the NetIron MLX also offers up to 256 ports of 10GbE wire-speed routing and switching performance and supports IPv4/IPv6 functionality. The new blades also deliver up to 45% energy savings compared to current solutions.
New scale in SAN capacity.
The new Brocade FC8-64 blade represents an upgrade to Brocade's flagship DCX Backbone. The FC8-64 blade is the highest-performing and highest-density 8 Gbps Fibre Channel blade on the market. It increases port density by 33%, reaching up to 512 ports per chassis. This increase in capacity and performance will allow customers to design next-generation SANs and meet the demands of server virtualization.
