Brocade X6 Director

Brocade X6 Director Highlights:

• Scale to 512 ports with industry-leading port density and consolidate infrastructure with 128 Gb/s Brocade UltraScale ICL connectivity for simpler, flatter, low-latency fabrics.
• Accelerate application response time by up to 71% across 32 Gb/s links like Brocade X6-8 and Brocade X6-4 Directors.
• Seamlessly integrate next-generation NVMe into the storage fabric and optimize the performance of NVMe with real-time latency monitoring
• Simplify end-to-end management and accelerate operations of large-scale environments with Fibre Channel automation.
• Provide proactive, real-time monitoring and alerting of storage I/O health and performance with integrated network sensors.
• Enable Virtual Machine (VM) visibility in a storage fabric to monitor VM performance, identify VM anomalies, and optimize VM performance.
• Design flexible architectures to increase agility with concurrent Fibre Channel, NVMe, FICON, or FCoE connectivity.
• Extend replication over distance with a highly scalable extension solution for Fibre Channel, IP, and FICON.
