SERVER CONNECTIVITY

DATA SHEET www.brocade.com

FCoE encapsulates and transmits Fibre Channel frames over this enhanced Ethernet infrastructure while preserving the Fibre Channel constructs and management paradigm for backward compatibility and investment protection.

By leveraging these technologies, Brocade CNAs enable organizations to consolidate multiple 1 GbE NICs and Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) into a single adapter. Combined with the top-of-rack Brocade 8000 Switch, the FCOE10-24 Blade for the Brocade DCX® Backbone family, and Brocade Network Advisor, Brocade CNAs provide a powerful 10 Gbps solution that helps consolidate both TCP/IP and storage (iSCSI/Fibre Channel) traffic over a single link. This helps significantly reduce server deployment costs, as well as power and cooling requirements, delivering best-in-class LAN and SAN connectivity while reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Enterprise-Class Connectivity for Next-Generation Virtual Data Centers Today’s IT professionals face the difficult challenge of reducing data center cost and complexity while satisfying numerous Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and performance requirements. As a result, organizations are seeking ways to improve server and storage utilization, reduce ongoing operational costs, and increase their flexibility and responsiveness.

The Brocade® 1010 (single port) and 1020 (dual port) Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) integrate 10 Gbps Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) functionality with Fibre Channel technology—enabling transport over a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connection through the Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols. This approach provides best-in-class LAN connectivity and server I/O consolidation, helping to reduce cost and complexity in next-generation data center environments.

IMPROVED TCO THROUGH I/O CONSOLIDATION DCB is a set of industry standards that enhances Ethernet protocol to enable low-latency, lossless, and deterministic network infrastructure for storage and other highly demanding traffic types. Brocade CNAs support all of these standards, including Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), Congestion Notification (CN), and Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX).

The Brocade One® strategy helps simplify networking infrastructures through innovative technologies and solutions. Brocade 1010 and 1020 Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) support this strategy by simplifying and optimizing server connectivity to Fibre Channel and Ethernet fabrics in highly virtualized data centers.

UNIFIED MANAGEMENTBrocade Network Advisor enables organizations to simultaneously monitor and manage multiple CNAs—along with Brocade HBAs, switches, directors, and backbones—from a single, centralized location. By leveraging Brocade Network Advisor, organizations can apply a holistic approach to data center management in both physical and virtual environments.

Brocade CNAs enable Virtual Machine (VM) discovery in VMware ESX environments within Brocade Network Advisor. VM discovery provides an end-to-end view of the VM-to-LUN path information for all the VMs running on each physical server. This provides unprecedented levels of visibility into the virtual server infrastructure, enabling network administrators to more efficiently manage their storage network resources.

CNA management and VM visibility features are available in all three editions of Brocade Network Advisor: Professional, Professional Plus, and Enterprise. For simple device configuration, driver updates, or to obtain CNA and port statistics, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) element manager—Brocade Host Connectivity Manager (HCM)—and a Command Line Interface (CLI) are also available. Both Brocade Network Advisor and HCM provide open APIs and standards-based interfaces for integration with popular third-party applications and higher-level frameworks to help orchestrate Brocade hardware and network services.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE The explosive growth of server virtualization and high-bandwidth applications, such as video-on-demand and High Performance Computing (HPC), is leading to increased performance demands, making 10 Gbps connectivity a key requirement. Recent advances in server technology, including Intel Nehalem processors, now enable servers to run more workloads, increasing consolidation and virtualization ratios. With more VMs deployed per server, network bandwidth and storage I/O requirements are higher than ever before.

Brocade CNAs are full-featured 10 GbE NICs that deliver 10 Gbps line-rate performance per port. They provide stateless networking offloads such as TCP checksum and segmentation offloads for improved performance and more efficient CPU

usage. Additional CPU cycles can then be dedicated to additional application processing.

Brocade CNAs deliver full hardware-based FCoE offload to provide superior performance for storage applications, with up to twice the performance of competitive offerings in real-world application scenarios.

Ultimately, this means that businesses of all sizes can scale their virtual server deployments and virtualize highly demanding applications with greater confidence, resulting in better server resource utilization and lower capital and operational costs.

OPTIMIZED FOR VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS In non-virtualized environments, applications are tied to physical servers, which in turn connect to physical switch ports in a “static” manner. Applying network policies or monitoring application performance is simple because the applications are permanently associated with the physical ports.

With server virtualization, multiple applications share a physical switch port. Furthermore, applications can move across the virtualized server infrastructure based on a number of user-defined policies and in response to dynamic business requirements. Virtualization hypervisors implement virtual switching technologies to connect the VMs to the network, and to move data between VMs.

Virtual Machine Optimized Ports (VMOPs) offload the hypervisor of essential virtual switching tasks, such as incoming packet

classification and sorting tasks, helping to reduce latency and improve throughput while freeing CPU cycles that can be used to further scale an organization’s virtualization environment.

Brocade CNAs support N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) with up to 255 virtual ports, and are qualified with all major hypervisor solutions in the industry. Leveraging NPIV technology, organizations can extend Brocade fabric services to the server and all the way to the VM and application level.

Optimal Support for Windows Server 2012 Brocade CNA support of Windows Server 2012 policy-based QoS enables administrators to specify network bandwidth controls based on application type, users, and servers for the physical network. In addition, support of Hyper-V QoS enables cloud hosting providers and enterprises to deliver predictable network performance for multiple types of traffic for VMs on Windows Server 2012 servers equipped with Brocade 1010 and 1020 adapters running in DCB mode.

SIMPLIFYING SERVER DEPLOYMENT WITH DYNAMIC FABRIC PROVISIONING AND ENHANCED DIAGNOSTICS Dynamic Fabric Provisioning (DFP) allows organizations to eliminate fabric reconfiguration when adding or replacing servers through the virtualization of host World Wide Names (WWNs). It combines Brocade switch and adapter technology to reduce or eliminate the need to modify zoning or Logical Unit Number (LUN)

masking. In addition, DFP enables pre-provisioning of virtual WWNs, helping organizations eliminate time-consuming steps when deploying new equipment or moving devices within a switch.

Diagnostic Ports (D_Ports) are a new port mode that enables administrators to quickly identify and isolate optics and cable problems, reducing fabric deployment and diagnostic times. Organizations also can use D_Ports to run a variety of tests through Brocade Network Advisor or Command Line Interface (CLI) to test ports, SFPs, and cables for faults, latency, and distance.
