SOFTWARE NETWORKING:ACCELERATING NETWORK TRANSFORMATION

Traditional networks and data centers are being stretched to their limits. They were never designed for today’s astronomical growth in bandwidth-intensive applications—and the ever-increasing demand for speed, scalability, and resilience. Software- Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) are powerful new software-based approaches to the network designed to address these issues.

Brocade leads the way in software networking innovations to help unleash the power, intelligence, and analytics of networks with flexible, end- to- end, cloud- based solutions. Brocade has more software networking solutions deployed today than any other vendor, with over 1.5 million downloads of the Brocade Vyatta vRouter.

The Brocade Virtual ADX enables the Brocade ADX system software to run as a virtual machine on supported hypervisor platforms. In this way, the Brocade Virtual ADX emulates the physical ADX system architecture on platforms implemented using the standard x86 architecture.

WHY?

• Automated service provisioning: Can be provisioned and ready for inclusion in the production pool faster than a physical device

• Simplified operation: Simplifies the administration and orchestration of the application delivery tier, an integral part of the overall cloud ecosystem

• Rapid creation of new services: Through the Brocade OpenScript engine functionality, network operators can flexibly manipulate application and traffic flows in real time in a programmable way with the Perl-based scripting tool

• Reduced TCO: The flexibility and simplicity of provisioning the Brocade Virtual ADX on a hypervisor helps reduce capital and operational network infrastructure costs

• Layer 4, Layer 7, and IPv6 load balancing• Health monitoring• Security and protection• Layer 2/3 network services• High availability• Extensible management and orchestration
