Brocade X7-8 Product Overview

The Brocade X7 FC SAN Directors are high-performance, modular, chassis-based Fibre Channel networking devices that provides connectivity between servers, switches and storage systems to form the backbone of an enterprise FC storage area network. The X7 Directors provide a modular building block, purpose-built for scalability to accommodate growth and power large-scale storage environments.

With a 50% latency reduction compared to the previous generation, X7 Directors maximize the performance of NVMe storage and high transaction workloads, eliminating I/O bottlenecks and unleashing the full performance of next generation storage. The modular design provides flexibility with two customizable chassis that can scale on-demand for more devices, applications, and workloads, the X7-8 and X7-4. Both chassis utilize Brocade UltraScale ICL technology to scale out modular SANs while preserving blade ports for device connectivity and allowing flexible SAN design that supports core-edge or mesh topologies.
