Cloud-Optimized Network Solution

Brocade application delivery product offerings address today's urgent data center requirements with the introduction of Brocade Virtual ADX as part of the comprehensive software networking portfolio, and the enhanced cloud orchestration and auto-provisioning capabilities.

Brocade application delivery solution addresses urgent data center requirements with L4-7 software networking, on-demand provisioning system, and the OpenStack cloud orchestration framework.

On-demand data centers require high performance hardware that can withstand the demands of mission-critical environments. Brocade introduced a new high-density 40 GbE module for the Brocade MLXe Series Routers, new NetIron CES and CER-RT carrier Ethernet compact switches and routers and new release of the NetIron Multi-Service software with support for OpenFlow Hybrid-Port Mode.

Overall Session Description
Cloud-based computing will have a major impact on the way that enterprises configure their IT resources over the next several years. By 2015, one of every seven dollars spent on packaged software, server, and storage offerings will involve the public cloud model. To stay competitive in this environment, providers of cloud services will need to move quickly to create and deploy innovative and high-value service offerings. Using the network as foundation, cloud providers will need to invest in next-generation application delivery platforms. Building upon existing performance and scale benefits, application delivery platforms will be instrumental in delivering an operationally efficient, customizable datacenter network.
Key Questions
This webinar will answer the following questions:
•What are key combinations of application delivery attributes that will support agile cloud service creation?
•When is the right time to invest in IPv6?
•What is the role of application delivery controllers within the context SDN (software-defined networks) ?
•Why is application intelligence crucial for network operators to meet the explosion of the mobile cloud?

OpenFlow/SDN is emerging as one of the most promising and disruptive networking technologies of recent years. It has the potential to enable network innovation and create choice, and thus help realize new capabilities and address persistent problems with networking. It also promises to give network operators more control of their infrastructure, allowing customization and optimization, therefore reducing overall capital and operational costs.

Industry is embracing SDN. Network operators plan to build their infrastructure using this innovative technology. Incumbent vendors as well as startups are developing a range of products for different market segments including data center, service provider and enterprise.

With the passage of the recent D-Block legislation and funding allocation, the vision of a single nationwide Public Safety broadband network based on commercial standards can become a reality. Today, Public Safety Agencies and municipalities, in an effort to build better interoperable communication and collaboration among first responders, are building early deployments of 700 MHz public safety broadband LTE networks that will ultimately be part of this nationwide broadband network. These networks will provide responders with access to a host of media rich applications along with better interoperability among agencies through the use of their mobile and handheld devices.

Learn how Motorola is teaming up with Public Safety Agencies to build this LTE backbone and how Brocade plays a role in this ecosystem by providing Ethernet access and transport from these cell sites to enable LTE connectivity.

This is the second part of the three part series of Business Continuity webcast.

Uninterrupted Virtual Machine mobility between data centers requires storage and IP networks connectivity to respond to very stringent requirements. Brocade storage networking solutions exceed these requirements, allowing for extended distances and better performance using Brocade FastWrite technology.

Governments and telecommunication operators need intelligence drawn from real-time analysis of massive network data flows so they may be swiftly notified of key events and to take corrective action. IP networks carry enormous amounts of traffic with unpredictable behavior, and visibility into the network is becoming essential.

In response, Brocade and IBM have developed a solution that combines state-of-the-art network telemetry and real-time analytics processing on an unprecedented scale. Seamless integration between Brocade MLXe telemetry-enabled devices and IBM InfoSphere Streams analytics platform enables non-disruptive extraction and analysis of massive data flows from production networks in real time.

OVERVIEW
Brocade, EMC, and VMware bring you this three part series webcasts on "Business Continuity." Business continuity and application availability at all times are top requirements for any business. Brocade, EMC and VMware collaborated to test and validate a solution that offers IT Operations the capability to dynamically migrate their applications across data centers without business interruption.

AGENDA:
1) Business Imperatives of Private Cloud Environment
2) Overview and Use Case for Distance vMotion
3) Vplex
4) Ethernet Fabric
5) Application Delivery

Network is the platform for service providers to deliver differentiated service offering and speed the latest services and applications to market.

Whether you operate a fixed or mobile carrier, cable and content provider, hosting or cloud provider, you need a scalable, application aware platform that can help you build, test, deploy the requested service so you are always ahead of the game amongst the competitors.

Brocade is announcing the significant software advancements to the Brocade® ServerIron® ADX Series of cloud-optimized application delivery switches designed to help customers gain greater application control and service scalability.

Join us in our conversation about the revolutionary application programming platform, the scalable IPv6 enhancement, and extensible manageability that helps network operators and application delivery professionals in maintaining a large scale infrastructure to meet the demands of prevalent Internet evolution and cloud based services.
