GEC NEWS WIRELaunches New Flow Optimizer SDN Application that eliminate network congestion and mitigate network attacks resulting from large volumetric traffic flows.
Brocade introduces the Brocade Flow Optimizer, an open and agile policy-based Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solution that detects and manages large Layer 2 through Layer 4 traffic flows in service provider and enterprise networks.
The Brocade Flow Optimizer enables proactive traffic visibility and traffic engineering of the network while allowing customers to take specific actions based on established policies.
“As more workloads shift into the cloud and Big Data becomes a significant portion of the network traffic, network performance management and large network flow visibility become critical requirements. Customers need network intelligence to manage their network more easily and to be able to proactively take action when needed,” says Yarob Sakhnini, regional director, MEMA at Brocade.
“With the introduction of the Brocade Flow Optimizer, Brocade is taking a concrete step to help its customers maximize the value of software-driven networks and increase network performance by mitigating network attacks and enabling policy-based traffic engineering,” said Jason Nolet, senior vice president, Switching, Routing, and Analytics Products Group at Brocade.
To be available in the third quarter of 2015, the Brocade Flow Optimizer application is supported on the Brocade MLX® Series Routers as well as the Brocade ICX® Switches for campus environments.
