Organizations are transitioning to the all-flash data center in order to gain the performance, scalability, and agility required to address exponential data growth and dynamic business demands. To keep pace with these innovations, the network must evolve to unlock the full capabilities of compute and storage resources. Brocade, A Broadcom Limited Company, can help organizations modernize their storage networks to maximize productivity and increase the efficiency of their storage investments - even as they rapidly scale their environments. The Brocade X6 Director provides the tools to optimize NVMe storage, simplify operations, and automate SAN management tasks, while serving as a modular building block to accommodate growth in large-scale enterprise infrastructures.

With the Brocade FC32-64 high-density port blade, the Brocade X6 Director can now scale even further - up to 512 ports-offering 33 percent more device ports while increasing total system bandwidth up to 20 Tbps. This blade provides 64 Fiber Channel ports in an elegant, high-density form factor designed with Q-Flex connections, enabling administrators to simplify cabling infrastructure. As a result, organizations can effectively scale to build high-density fabrics to meet data growth demands, handle more workloads, and drive efficiency by maximizing rack space. Combining Brocade's robust Gen 6 capabilities with multiprotocol flexibility and enhanced latency monitoring of NVMe over Fiber Channel traffic, the Brocade FC32-64 Port Blade enables a seamless transition to the all-flash data center and drives IT innovation.
