GEC NEWS WIRENew enhancements allow customers to transform their edge networks to support mobility, social, and cloud data traffic as they transition to the New IP
Brocade has advanced The Effortless Network strategy, enabled by Brocade HyperEdge Architecture, including scale-out networking with the Brocade ICX7750-based distributed chassis solution, the new Brocade ICX 7450 enterprise campus stackable switch, and the availability of OpenFlow 1.3 support for emerging campus Software-Defined Networking (SDN) applications. These new enhancements allow customers to transform their edge networks to support mobility, social, and cloud data traffic as they transition to the New IP.
“Campus customers require a high-performance network infrastructure that is future-proof, that is simple to provision and manage, and that can scale at the speed of business. The latest innovations in the Brocade ICX portfolio significantly advance these capabilities and ensure that customers are prepared for the New IP,” said Jason Nolet, Brocade Vice President of Switching, Routing, and Analytics products.
“We believe a dramatic shift in campus network architectures is necessary to support 3rd Platform network demands such as pervasive mobility. Brocade’s enhancements to its campus portfolio show great promise with regard to its differentiated scale-out architecture, simplified management and evolutionary path to SDN. This should enable IT to easily and cost-effectively expand the network, while improving agility and performance to support ever-increasing user expectations”, said Nolan Greene, Research Analyst, Network Infrastructure, IDC
