Brocade 6720 Switches

The Brocade VDX 6720 Data Center Switches are specifically designed to improve network utilization, maximize application availability, increase scalability, and dramatically simplify network architecture in virtualized data centers. By delivering Brocade VCS™ technology, the Brocade VDX 6720 helps organizations build data center Ethernet fabrics—revolutionizing the design of Layer 2 networks and providing an intelligent foundation for cloud computing.

- Simplifies network architectures and enables cloud computing by delivering virtual cluster switching technology Provides Ports on Demand flexibility with 16-, 24-, 40-, 50-, and 60-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) models built on Brocade sixth-generation fabric switching technology

- Maximizes performance through wire-speed ports with 600 nanosecond port-to-port latency and hardware-based Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking

- Provides multi-homed active-active server connections for Ethernet networks

- Builds scale-out Ethernet fabrics for virtualized data centers

- Enables end-to-end convergence of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI, and NAS storage traffic along with IP LAN data traffic

- Simplifies management by maintaining network policies as virtual machines move throughout the data center with Automatic Migration of Port Profiles (AMPP)

- Helps reduce operational costs and complexity by enabling the entire fabric to be managed as a single switch
