Enabling Efficient, Scalable, and Agile Cloud Service Delivery
Cloud computing technologies have transformed how organizations design and operate their data centers. More than ever, they must find a cost-effective means to scale capacity to support business growth, maximize infrastructure utilization, and increase operational efficiency and business agility.
This requires a resilient and adaptable network that can facilitate the rollout of new services or applications in real time. The underlying infrastructure must be able to consolidate network resources into shared, reusable assets, allowing administrators to more efficiently distribute workloads and manage peak traffic while adhering to Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Moreover, it must allow organizations to streamline data center operations and automate workloads within their virtual and physical infrastructures, to help ensure predictable and reliable service delivery.
Purpose-built on a scalable, distributed architecture, Brocade ADX application delivery solutions provide the flexibility and scale to meet the demands of service-driven data centers. Whether an organization requires dedicated hardware, hardware-based multitenancy, or a virtual platform, the Brocade ADX Series provides a comprehensive application delivery portfolio that accelerates application performance, increases application availability, and improves application security.
