A Brocade has a well-established track record in providing impressive ADC performance
and superior ROI to the largest service providers. In addition, Brocade is leveraging its
strategic relationships with OEM, technology, and channel partners that all value a single
qualification or certification process that saves time and money.
A Application Resource Broker goes beyond adding simple support for server virtualization.
In fact, it is a given that ServerIron provides equal optimization support to applications
whether they are running on a virtual, or a real server. Brocade recognizes that resource
consolidation through server virtualization is only the initial step towards keeping up with
the rapid increase in the number of client connections to richer media, in more complex
computing environments, and with more stringent business requirements.
As customers consider their migration to this next generation of application architecture,
to realize the full potential of the cloud model built on a service-oriented network
infrastructure, they will need technology partners who can demonstrably reduce risk,
operational cost and complexity, while increasing (and decreasing) application capacity
on-demand, in an elastic, service-oriented resource infrastructure.
With Application Resource Broker, Brocade is leading the way with demand-driven
application provisioning, and bringing value and insight that only ADX, with its intense
focus on client-server connection dynamics, can bring to the orchestration Layer. And, as
a leader in data center networking, Brocade is uniquely positioned to provide these key
benefits:
• Standards-based compatibility and interoperability with the widest range of
virtualization and orchestration vendors, ensuring choice and flexibility
• Field-proven service and support for the most challenging six-nines environments
