Virtual Machine Mobility

CHALLENGES TODAY

Limited sphere of mobility to single rack with L3

VM migration can break network/application access

Mapping services to all physical ports undermines network and security best practices.

Distributed Virtual Switch consumes server resources

DISTRIBUTEDINTELLIGENCE

Brocade is strongly promoting Ethernet Fabric, which is new network architecture for evolving virtualization / cloud environments:

Logically flat L2 network: self aggregation, topology flexibility, optimized for large-scaled virtualization

High throughput & High Performance: eliminated STP, multi-paths, automatic selection of the shortest path of the traffic, automatic scaling of bandwidth.

High availability & High scalability: self-recovery of fabrics, isolation of disorders.

Automatic and simple administration: self mutual recognition of the switches, addition and deletion of switches without configuration, manage several switches as a single chassis.

Coordination with server virtualization: port configuration subsequent to the migration of VMs, automatic discovery of devices and automatic creation & configuration of port profiles.

Convergence of LAN and SAN: supports conventional Ethernet and the new DCB protocol.

New 10GE DCB switch MODULE Industry’s 1st Ethernet Fabric enabled
