The Brocade ® VDX ® 6730 Switch is a high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) fixed configuration switch with LAN and native Fibre Channel ports that supports the most demanding business applications. It is specifically designed to improve network utilization, maximize application availability, increase scalability, and dramatically simplify network architecture in virtualized data centers. The Brocade VDX 6730 with Brocade VCS ® Fabric technology is an ideal platform for Top-of-Rack (ToR) fabric deployments requiring native Fibre Channel connectivity (see Figure 1). The Brocade VDX 6730 connects to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) in addition to Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI, and NAS storage, providing unified Ethernet storage connectivity options. It is available in two models—the 2U Brocade VDX 6730-76 with 60 10 GbE LAN ports and 16 8 Gbps native Fibre Channel ports, and the 1U Brocade VDX 6730-32 with 24 10 GbE LAN ports and eight 8 Gbps native Fibre Channel ports. AN INTELLIGENT FOUNDATION FOR CLOUD COMPUTING Brocade VCS Fabric technology is an innovative technology that enables organizations to build high-performance, cloud-optimized data centers while preserving existing network designs and cabling, and gaining active-active server connections. For scale-out fabric architectures, Brocade VCS Fabric technology allows organizations to flatten network designs, provide Virtual Machine (VM) mobility without network reconfiguration, and manage the entire fabric more efficiently. Learn more about Brocade VCS Fabric technology at www.brocade.com/vcs. The Brocade One ® strategy helps simplify networking infrastructures through innovative technologies and solutions. Brocade VDX 6730 Switches support this strategy by simplifying network architecture while increasing network performance and resiliency with Ethernet fabrics.
