Brocade 7850

Brocade 7850

  • Handles more replication traffic and maximizes modern 25/100GbE WAN connections
  • Secures data flows over distance with strong AES 256-bit hardware encryption without a performance penalty
  • Provides load balancing and failover across multiple WAN connections, protecting against WAN link failures
  • Ensures always-on storage replication with non-disruptive firmware and security updates
  • Detects WAN anomalies and avoids unplanned downtime with proactive monitoring

Powerful Performance and Robust Scabability
Continous Availability across Data Centers
Move more Data through industry-leading Performance
Simplified Management and Robust Network Analytics

The Brocade 7850 is a robust platform for high-scale, multisite data center environments implementing block, file, and tape data protection solutions. This switch is designed to deliver the most outstanding data protection and performance regardless of distance. Data centers can achieve the bandwidth, port density, and throughput needed for maximum replication performance over WAN connections.

The Brocade 7850 combines enterprise-class availability with innovative features and the industry’s only WAN-side, non-disruptive firmware upgrades to achieve always-on business operations and maximize application uptime. These capabilities enable a high performance and highly reliable network infrastructure for disaster recovery and data protection.

The advanced performance and network optimization features of the Brocade 7850 enable replication and backup applications to send more data over metro and WAN links in less time, and optimize available WAN bandwidth. Supporting up to 250 ms Round-Trip Time (RTT) latency, the Brocade 7850 enables cost-effective extension solutions over distances up to 25,500 kilometers (15,845 miles).

The Brocade 7850 supports monitoring WAN traffic between data centers proactively to detect anomalies and to validate and troubleshoot physical infrastructure with built-in traffic generator and Brocade Flow Vision. In addition, the Brocade 7850 Extension Switch identifies, monitors and analyzes end-to-end I/O flows over distance to accelerate troubleshooting and optimize performance.
