Deploying Brocade 8 Gbps with VMware Virtual Infrastructure
Abstract:
A critical advanced technology integrated into the data center fabric is Brocade Adaptive Networking services. As application consolidation accelerates, service level management gains in importance, Adaptive Networking provides QoS to ensure fabric support for critical application service levels.
Abstract:
The Brocade Management Pack for Microsoft System Center is a workload-aware resource optimization product that is extensible through Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007. Leveraging Brocade Advanced Fabric Services via embedded HBA technologies, this HBA integration solution helps IT organizations deploy and manage true end-to-end Storage Area Network (SAN) services across next-generation virtualized data centers.
Abstract:
A key component of the Brocade Data Center Fabric (DC F) architecture, Fabric-Based Boot LUNLUN Discovery delivers reliable diskless server deployment for the virtualized data center. Deploying diskless servers versus servers with locally attached storage reduces power consumption, improves server reliability, and speeds up server provisioning.
Abstract:
The Brocade family of 4 and 8 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) support a unique combination of enabling technologies that remove barriers to virtualizing the most demanding business applications.
Abstract:
Leveraging the extension of Advanced Fabric Services to virtual workloads via embedded Host Bus Adapter (HBA) technologies, Brocade has built Virtual Channel technology into its switches and HBAs, to facilitate end-to-end QoS. This HBA integration solution is designed to help IT organizations deploy and manage true end-to-end Storage Area Network (SAN) services across next-generation virtualized data centers.
Abstract:
The evolving data center fabric exploits developing virtualization technologies for a data- and application-driven solution that reduces complexity and enables end-to-end management on a common framework.
Abstract:
The Brocade Host Connectivity Manager (HCM) is uniquely tailored to address the needs of server administrators, while Brocade Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) maximizes the productivity of the SAN administrator. Together, these tools offer an integrated end-to-end SAN management suite for the enterprise data center.
Abstract:
The evolving data center requires innovative technology in the fabric networks that connect servers to servers, servers to storage, and storage to storage.
Abstract:
Recent benchmarking of the Brocade 815 Fibre Channel HBA clearly demonstrates 2x performance leadership in the 8 Gbit/sec HBA category. The level of I/O performance confirmed by Medusa Labs Testing Service is unique to Brocade or Brocade’s OEM solutions. In the virtualized data center with consolidation of physical servers, only Brocade FC HBAs can ensure that your data center fabric provides the scalability needed to meet virtualization requirements.
Abstract:
Delivering more than twice the performance of competing HBAs, Brocade FC HBAs also offer advanced features supporting enterprise-class, end-to-end storage networking solutions.
