HIGHLIGHTS • Provides Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center Bridging (DCB) end-of-row server connectivity using high- density Brocade DCX Backbones • Delivers line-rate 10 Gbps performance across 24 DCB ports using a cut-through, non-blocking architecture • Processes FCoE traffic at wire speed for transport to Fibre Channel and FCoE storage systems • Supports end-to-end FCoE using Fibre Channel ISLs • Utilizes Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and Brocade frame-based trunking to maximize DCB bandwidth • Combines with Brocade Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) and Brocade Network Advisor to provide a unified DCB/FCoE solution that reduces CapEx and OpEx High-Density, End-of-Row Connectivity for Server I/O Consolidation Designed for midsize and large enterprise environments, the Brocade ® FCOE10-24 Blade for Brocade DCX ® Backbones enables access to LANs and SANs over a common server connection by utilizing the emerging Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols. The blade forwards LAN traffic to aggregation layer Ethernet switches using conventional 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connections, and it forwards storage traffic to Brocade Fibre Channel SANs and FCoE storage systems. Full support for end-to-end FCoE is achieved via Fibre Channel ISLs, allowing FCoE traffic to be carried from FCoE initiators across multiple Fibre Channel ISL hops, eventually terminating in Fibre Channel or FCoE storage. By simplifying system configuration, the Brocade FCOE10-24 enables Brocade DCX Backbones to provide high-density, end-of-row server connectivity that helps reduce both capital and operating expenses in enterprise data centers. A UNIFIED DCB/FCOE SOLUTION TO REDUCE COSTS The Brocade FCOE10-24 connects to servers utilizing Brocade 1010/1020 Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) or third-party CNAs. Consolidating server I/O reduces the number of server adapters, which in turn reduces cabling and switch ports, and ultimately results in lower infrastructure costs, including reduced BROCADE FCOE10-24 BLADE STORAGE AREA NETWORK DATA SHEET www.brocade.com power and cooling costs. To further reduce complexity and administrative overhead, organizations can manage Brocade CNAs and Brocade DCX Backbones across their Brocade Fibre Channel SAN infrastructures with Brocade Network Advisor—providing a unified DCB/FCoE solution that is unique in the industry. INDUSTRY-LEADING PERFORMANCE AND SCALABILITY Utilized in a Brocade DCX or Brocade DCX-4S chassis, the Brocade FCOE10-24 Blade supports data-intensive applications by delivering best-in-class performance. The Brocade One ™ strategy helps organizations transition smoothly to a world where information and applications reside anywhere. The Brocade FCOE10-24 Blade supports this strategy by enabling LAN and SAN access over a single server connection to simplify network design.
