The Brocade 8000 is a top-of-rack FCoE switch in a compact 1U form factor. It features eight 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports along with 24 Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) ports with 10 Gigabit Ethernet capabilities. The CEE ports are capable of transporting both storage and LAN traffic—eliminating the need for separate SAN and LAN adapters and cables

  • Delivers high performance with a cut-through, non-blocking switch architecture
  • Features a top-of-rack, 1U, multiprotocol design that supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Fibre Channel, Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), and traditional Ethernet protocols
  • Provides up to 8 Gbps performance with eight Fibre Channel ports and line-rate performance for 24 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports
  • Improves energy efficiency, operating at 350 watts with redundant power supplies and cooling fan FRUs

The Brocade 8000 connects to servers through Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) such as the Brocade 1010 and Brocade 1020. The consolidated SAN and LAN server ports and corresponding cables simplify configuration and cabling in server cabinets to reduce acquisition costs. This design helps reduce cable clutter and operational costs associated with power consumption and cooling.

Did you know that unstructured data makes up over 80% of an organisations information store? Did you also know that on average over 85% of this data as not been look at/opened in over 90 days?

Imagine the impact on your IT environment if you could remove this static data from both your primary storage and backup regime? NexStor can offer a solution that will allow you to send multiple copies of these “old” files to multiple remote locations at the same time.
