Brocade Strengthens Application Delivery Switching for Cloud-Optimized Data Centers

Brocade expands customer control with the introduction of the Brocade® ServerIron® ADX 1000F compact application delivery switches, which includes the benefits of combined copper and fiber connectivity. This extension to the award-winning Brocade ADX 1000 Series is designed to deliver increased customer choice and flexibility for cloud-focused service providers, financial institutions and governmental agencies while also setting the industry benchmark for application delivery switching performance, scalability and investment protection. The result is up to 50 percent power savings and improved data transmission reliability and security while also dramatically consolidating data center rack footprint.

Modern data center requirements have become increasingly stringent and demanding. The need to significantly reduce power consumption while also delivering greater performance, carrier-grade reliability and secure data transmission has caused network managers to scrutinize their application delivery solutions. Compounded with increasingly complex application requirements, massive client access growth and the requirement for maximum performance, the importance of anticipating the future capacity requirements has become a critical factor.

While many industries can benefit from the inherent capabilities fiber optics deliver, there are three distinct vertical industries with clear deployment needs: large cloud service providers, global financial institutions and governmental agencies:
• In large cloud provider implementations flexible capacity and massive scalability is necessary for providers to react quickly and seamlessly to changing end-user bandwidth and application requirements.
• In enterprise networks, the ability to operate within a smaller real estate footprint and a reduction in overall cost are top concerns.
• With security and data integrity primary concerns for government agencies, added layers of security are often necessary to meet strict regulations.
