The Journey to the Private Cloud, Simplified
To keep pace with dynamic and growing business demands, many organizations are transitioning their data centers to private cloud architectures in order to leverage the many benefits of virtualization. This approach enables them to consolidate, scale, simplify, and automate their IT resources to increase business agility while reducing capital and operational expenditures.

Today, server virtualization is a key technology for enabling private cloud architectures. Organizations worldwide are taking virtualization to the next level, increasing Virtual Machine (VM) densities and virtualizing mission-critical workloads. This trend is increasing demand for shared storage and flatter, more scalable Ethernet networks—as well as higher bandwidth and I/O capacity for client/server and storage networks.

To help address that demand, the Brocade 1860 Fabric Adapter meets all connectivity needs of cloud-enabled data centers while providing unmatched performance, application-aware services, unified management, and reduced cost and complexity.

Brocade 1860 Fabric Adapter
The Brocade 1860 Fabric Adapter extends Fibre Channel and Ethernet fabric services to VMs and applications.

Designed to simplify the transition to a cloud-based architecture, the Brocade 1860 offers several key benefits:

  • Is a new class of adapter that meets all Fibre Channel and Ethernet connectivity needs in cloud-enabled data centers
  • Simplifies and optimizes server I/O in highly virtualized environments
  • Supports native 16 Gbps Fibre Channel and 10 GbE DCB connectivity for TCP/IP, iSCSI, and FCoE with Brocade AnyIO technology
  • Extends Fibre Channel and Ethernet fabric services to the server and applications
  • Consolidates I/O devices by partitioning physical adapters into virtual adapters through Brocade vFLink technology
  • Simplifies the transition to private cloud by supporting current and emerging virtualization workloads and technologies
  • Simplifies and unifies the management of adapter, SAN, and LAN resources with Brocade Network Advisor
