Now Brocade Delivers Application Intelligence to Enable Elastic Computing in Virtualized Data Centers
The new Brocade Application Resource Broker software module provides visibility into application performance across network and VM infrastructures, and ensures application service level agreements (SLA) are met by dynamically allocating additional resources to service increases in application load. 

Capacity on demand for the Brocade ADX 1000 series of fixed configuration application delivery controllers enables organizations to double or quadruple device performance without hardware upgrades. 

The new Brocade ADX 1008-1 model adds an entry-level platform to the ADX 1000 Series. Together, these innovations enable a more agile application infrastructure, providing increased business responsiveness, and optimized use of costly application infrastructure.

Application Resource Broker
The Brocade Application Resource Broker is a new software application that gives administrators increased visibility into application performance in virtualized data centers and private clouds, as well as on-demand provisioning and de-provisioning of application resources based on user demand.  The Brocade Application Resource Broker offers a rich set of monitoring, decision-making and application-centric reporting features delivered as a plug-in for VMware’s vSphere administrative interface.  By leveraging the application performance metrics from the Brocade ServerIron ADX, combined with server and virtual machine (VM) specific load statistics from VMware vCenter, the Brocade Application Resource Broker determines in real-time if application resources are meeting user demand. Using its policy-based decision engine, the Application Resource Broker can log events and alert administrators to potentially inadequate application resources. Using those same policies, it can automatically provision additional application VM instances and application delivery controller resources to service user demand, and de-provision the VM instances and resources when demand subsides.

Capacity on Demand
To further support the need for on-demand services, Brocade announced capacity on demand for the Brocade ServerIron ADX 1000 Series, which provides the ability to use simple software-based license keys to double or quadruple performance, enable additional Ethernet interfaces, or activate features such as SSL offload and global server load balancing (GSLB). 

Brocade ServerIron ADX 1008-1
In addition, Brocade has extended the ServerIron ADX 1000 Series with the introduction of the entry-level Brocade ServerIron ADX 1008-1. Leveraging this new 1RU platform and capacity on-demand, customers can now deploy the Brocade ServerIron ADX 1008-1 and upgrade system capacity and feature set as their business grows, without the need for any hardware upgrades. 

As part of the Brocade ServerIron ADX software release v12.2, enterprises and service providers can now take advantage of IPv6-to-IPv4 gateway functionality for application delivery to IPv6 clients, Layer 7 switching and application delivery services for the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol, and predictive load balancing functionality based on real-time application performance measurements.
