Brocade VDX 6940-144S Ethernet Switch - Manageable - 40 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 100 Gigabit Ethernet - 40GBase-X, 10GBase-X, 100GBase-X

BR-VDX6940-144S-AC-F 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. Third, and most important, scale-out network architecture delivers a compelling economic benefit. Optimizes Scale-Out Architecture Brocade VDX switches are designed to help organizations stay ahead of application-driven network change by enabling agile growth through a scale-out architecture. Data center administrators can horizontally scale spine switches as the number of leaf switches increases. Unlike scale-up, a scale-out model reduces upfront investment. The Brocade® VDX® 6940 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. First, it enables network expansion as a business grows over time. Second, scale-out architecture also enables the creation of resilient network fabrics, eliminating a single point of failure and potential downtime. This approach offers three key benefits. And by using high-density fixed switches, it lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), reducing power, cooling, and data center space.
