Adaptive Networking - Advanced Data Center Fabric Technology

Tags:
data center

Overview The Brocade Data Center Fabric (DCF) Architecture is an architectural foundation and evolutionary strategy for designing, building, and managing enterprise data centers. A critical advanced technology integrated into the data center fabric is Brocade's adaptive networking. Adaptive networking services will become essential as evolving data center fabrics collapse server-to-storage, server-to-server, and storage-to-storage connectivity onto a common network connecting virtualized devices.
