Get Virtual Now

As the leader in data center networking solutions that help enterprises connect and manage their information, Brocade is pleased to work with Microsoft to offer products and services that extend virtualization from the server to the storage network.

Brocade delivers end-to-end data center infrastructure solutions supported by the Brocade Data Center Fabric architecture that help IT organizations optimize application performance, seamlessly connect data, and simplify management.

With Brocade, organizations can realize the true promise of virtualization by achieving centralized and unified management, greater data protection and performance, and cost efficiencies.

"We are pleased to align with Brocade in their delivery of new capabilities which integrate with the end-to-end virtualization management solutions provided by System Center to simplify infrastructure management and provide powerful new capabilities to the dynamic, virtualized data center."

 - Zane Adam, senior director of integrated virtualization at Microsoft.

The Brocade Management Pack for Microsoft System Center monitors the health and performance of data center SAN infrastructure and works with the PRO framework in Virtual Machine Manager to provide intelligent recommendations that allow IT administrators to dynamically optimize the performance of their virtualized workloads.  Brocade's SCVMM PRO Alert for Link Congestion will monitor IO performance from the server to the data in the SAN. If the link congestion exceeds a set threshold, System Center will generate a PRO Tip recommending VM migration from that host, or have VMM automatically reassign the VM and its applications to another physical server, avoiding any significant downtime for the application and users.
