Industry-Leading Technology That Is Flexible, Simple, and Easy to Use
The Brocade G610 features up to24 Fibre Channel ports, delivering industry-leading Gen 6 Fibre Channel technology in a flexible, simple, and easy-to-use solution.Designed for maximum flexibility, this entry-level switch offers pay as-you-grow capability to easily and cost-effectively scale from 8 to 24 ports with Ports on Demand(PoD). Moreover, each of the 24 SFP+ ports supports 4, 8, 16, and 32G Fibre Channel speeds. High
speed 32G and 16G optics allow organizations to deploy bandwidth on demand to meet growing data center needs.
With its PoD capability, the Brocade G610 provides excellent overall value and the agility needed to enable rapid deployments to meet user demands and support higher growth. In addition, the switch can be easily deployed in just three steps with the Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard. This tool features a simple user interface that dramatically reduces deployment and configuration times.
Brocade Fabric Vision
Technology Brocade Fabric Vision technology with VM Insight, an extension of Gen 6 Fibre Channel, provides unprecedented insight and visibility across the storage network. Its powerful, integrated monitoring, management, and diagnostic tools enable organizations to:
• Simplify monitoring:
− Deploy more than 20 years of storage networking best practices with a single click.
− Leverage integrated network sensors to gain visibility into VM storage performance metrics to maintain SLA compliance.
− Gain comprehensive visibility into the fabric using browseraccessible dashboards with drill down capabilities.
• Increase operational stability:
− Avoid 50% of common network problems with proactive monitoring.
− Identify hot spots and automatically mitigate network problems—before they impact application performance.
− Monitor performance for each VM and identify performance anomalies to facilitate fault isolation and troubleshooting.
• Dramatically reduce costs:
− Eliminate nearly 50% of maintenance costs through automated testing and diagnostic tools.
− Save up to millions of dollars on CapEx costs by eliminating the need for expensive third party tools through integrated network sensors, monitoring, and diagnostics.
− Simplify network planning and provisioning based on VM workload requirements to reduce costs.
