Brocade revolutionizes new VCS fabric portfolio

To improve IT agility and help customers migrate to New IP, Brocade has announced advancements to the Brocade VCS fabric portfolio. These solutions enable efficient, automated, scale-out network architectures with new, advanced programmability and orchestration to deliver network resources on demand.
New innovations to the VCS fabric portfolio include the Brocade VDX 6940, which is designed for dynamic, scale-out data center architectures. To facilitate rapid deployment, the switch supports Zero-Touch Provisioning capabilities, enabling it to be configured and operational in less than one minute.
The automated approach to Brocade VDX switch deployment and operations extends beyond native VCS capabilities. Customers can seamlessly integrate a Brocade VDX network infrastructure with the rest of their data center ecosystem through advanced programmability, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and virtualization support, cloud orchestration, and DevOps integration.
“As the rise of the third platform – including cloud, mobile, social, and Big Data – accelerates, organizations are encountering new requirements and challenges that cannot be addressed with legacy network architectures that were designed for client-server environments. Networks must transform from a siloed, static design to an agile, on-demand infrastructure that is automated via data center orchestration frameworks and programmability,” said Jason Nolet, Sr Vice-President of Data Center Switching, Routing, and Analytics Products Group, Brocade.
For customers to realize this vision, networks must be automated, open, and software-driven. Today’s announcements follow these guiding principles with Brocade VCS fabric innovations in two areas: VCS fabric portfolio enhancements, and open, software-driven ecosystem integration with other parts of the data center infrastructure.
Software enhancements and the Brocade VDX 6940 switches will be available beginning in March, with a starting price of $27,995.
