Brocade has expanded the award-winning Brocade VDX product family with two new switch models designed to deliver a comprehensive solution for future-proofing data center networks, cost-effectively supporting 1 GbE server and storage environments and allowing Ethernet-based server access to all the data stored on Fibre Channel SANs. The Brocade VDX switches support VCS fabric technology, enabling enterprises to gracefully evolve their traditional network architectures to an Ethernet fabric in order to better support virtualized and cloud-optimized data centers.

"First-generation VDX 6720 was unveiled in November 2010. And now with VDX 6710 and 6730, we are announcing second generation of our solutions," informs K P Unnikrishnan, Marketing Director, APAC, Brocade Communications Singapore Pte Ltd.

Further, Brocade has announced significant advancements to the Brocade CloudPlex architecture with new Brocade Virtual Compute Blocks. "These bundled solutions consist of integrated, tested and validated multi-vendor server, virtualization, networking and storage resources. Demonstrating substantial partner traction, the new solutions are available today, delivered and supported in collaboration with a wide range of alliance partners, including Dell, EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi Data Systems and VMware," elaborates Unnikrishnan.

This open approach is an underlying tenet of the Brocade CloudPlex architecture, which was announced in May 2011. It is the foundation for integrated compute blocks and it supports existing multi-vendor infrastructure to unify customers' assets into a single compute and storage domain.

Complementing the above announcements, Brocade has announced the availability of an innovative, subscription-based acquisition option for network infrastructure that allows organizations to align network capacity with fluctuating business demands. Brocade Network Subscription is optimized to address the unique requirements of cloud-based IT environments and represents a viable new procurement alternative that offers customers the most flexible, open-ended network acquisition option available today.

Brocade Network Subscription revolutionizes network acquisition by giving customers the flexibility to scale up and down according to actual network utilization with minimal risk and no capital outlay. With Brocade Network Subscription, customers pay for their network infrastructure on a monthly basis, allowing them to align network capacity with actual usage and thereby reducing costs and mitigating capital risk.
