Enhanced SAN connection
Get the network performance you need to support next generation workloads with Brocade DCX 8510 Backbone, specially built uninterrupted networking, and scalable private clouds.
Continuous networking
Experience continuous connectivity, designed to provide efficient and reliable end-to-end SAN communications.
Use dynamic configuration to ensure that network services are not interrupted.
Helps eliminate the need to reconfigure the structure when adding or replacing servers.
Reduce the need to modify partitions and mask logical unit numbers (luns).
Allows devices to be moved within the switch, such as the virtual Worldwide Name (WWN) can be migrated by using the move command.
Helps ensure structural link-level integrity with end-to-end fiber and link validation.
Faster detection and isolation of fiber and cable problems.
Verify the health of transceivers and cables in a interference-free manner through electronic and fiber optic testing, cable health checks, and digital diagnostics.
Help ensure stable application performance on the link with particle delay, distance measurement, and application level I/O profile emulation.

Reliable connection
Meet dynamic business needs by effectively supporting dedicated cloud deployments and mature scalability and reliability of virtualized data centers.
Improving the horizontal expansion and shared storage network design to meet the cloud storage requirements include:
Using a flat network topology, all chassis can be interconnected without a router.
Realize interconnection at any end, that is, through a single interface, any node in the network can send/receive communication to/from any other node.
Provides low latency interconnection, enabling fast communication while minimizing latency.
Simplify deployment and integrate end-to-end SAN management with the following enhanced network management tools:
New inline port diagnostics and advanced monitoring to speed deployment and help improve troubleshooting efficiency.
Network Advisor, which helps centralize server connections and resource management.
Power monitoring throughout the structure to support energy saving operations.
