Data Center: Services
built 190 days ago
Data center relocations and server migrations bring clear advantages. They reduce IT costs, support compliance with government and industry regulations, and enhance disaster recovery. Yet such moves are often fraught with risk. Local users become remote users, impacting application performance, increased transaction times put significant additional strain on processing resources, and critical services can be disrupted during transitional stages of the move. The impact of such moves on service levels – and on the business – should therefore not be underestimated. Yet it often it is.

At the heart of the Brocade DCF architecture will be a new category of data center infrastructure, called the Brocade DCX(TM) Backbone. This innovative platform is designed to meet growing requirements for large-scale server virtualization, wider resource-intensive service delivery, adaptive networking, and multiple high-performance network protocols -- including Fibre Channel, FCoE, DCE, and iSCSI. Moreover, it is designed to support seamless interoperability across servers, storage, and networking protocols. Brocade plans to make the Brocade DCX available in the first half of fiscal 2008.

One key feature of the BCM56820 is Broadcom's service aware flow control (SAFC) technology, which enables data center Ethernet (DCE). In this converged 10 Gigabit Ethernet-based fabric, SAFC greatly improves performance in data centers by ensuring that there is no loss of data on the network. It guarantees reliable delivery of sensitive network traffic such as storage, while extending priority access to time-critical applications such as clustering and video.
