The new Brocade Data Center Fabric (DCF) enables greater efficiency and cost savings with minimal disruption and risk
Adaptive networking services will become essential as evolving data center fabrics collapse server-to-storage, server-to-server, and storage-to-storage connectivity onto a common network connecting virtualized devices. This dynamic movement of application workloads and data can create unexpected bottlenecks, which in turn cause unpredictable congestion in the networks hosting server-to-storage traffic, server-to-server clusters, and storage-to-storage replication. Adaptive networking uses deep network intelligence to anticipate congestion and to dynamically make adjustments in the fabric so that application traffic continues to flow.
Enterprise data centers are undergoing a transformation driven by the need to reduce costs and increase performance. 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. This paper describes the necessary evolution of the data center to meet these challenges.
This paper describes the key issues facing IT organizations today and explains how the Brocade Data Center Fabric (DCF) provides an architectural foundation and evolutionary strategy for transforming today's IT infrastructures into next-generation data centers with reduced cost, increased flexibility, and minimized risk.
