Marketing Information: Advanced Features Enable Data Center Transformation
The data center is evolving, driving requirements for infrastructure that can support dynamic growth in Virtual Machines (VMs), distributed applications, and Big Data, as well as the transition to cloud-based computing-without compromising performance. The Brocade® VDX® 8770 and the Brocade VDX family of switches deliver the performance, flexibility, scale, and efficiency essential to modern data centers, including cloud and highly virtualized environments.
Designed for the Most Demanding Environments
The Brocade VDX 8770 Switch is designed to scale and support complex environments with dense virtualization and dynamic traffic patterns-where more automation is required for operational scalability. Available in fourslot and eight-slot versions, the Brocade VDX 8770 is a highly scalable, lowlatency 1/10/40/100 GbE modular switch.
The Brocade VDX 8770 delivers high-performance to support the most demanding data center networking needs.
Key features include:
- Line-rate support for 1, 10, 40, and 100 GbE to satisfy current and future needs
- Packet forwarding performance of up to 11.42 billion packets per second
- 4 Tbps per slot line-rate design for substantial capacity and headroom (up to 32 Tbps capacity for the Brocade VDX 8770-8; up to 16 Tbps for the Brocade VDX 8770-4)
- 4-microsecond latency to assure rapid response for latency-sensitive applications
- Support for up to 384,000 MAC addresses per fabric for extensive virtualization scalability
- Multi-core CPUs within each line card to support two separate Brocade Network OS instances for high availability
- Efficient multipathing technology and virtual Link Aggregation Groups (vLAGs) to allow extremely large-scale deployments with the best-possible network utilization
- The flexibility to deploy data center networks ranging from hundreds of switch infrastructures, and direct server connections. Modular four-slot and eightslot chassis options are available to match the switch to the needs of the organization.
