New Card Supports All Features of Brocade's Gen 5 Fibre Channel Technology
San Francisco, USA. June 26, 2013. ADVA Optical Networking announced today that
its 16Gbit/s Fibre Channel (FC) card is the first in the networking industry to
achieve Brocade qualification. Following completion of interoperability testing
as part of Brocade's Gen 5 Fibre Channel program, the ADVA 16Gbit/s FC card
(4WCE/16G) will be a key component for enterprises seeking to evolve their high-
density server virtualization, cloud architectures and storage applications. The
card is generally available and has already been deployed by a number of
financial organizations.
"The continued explosion in bandwidth demand, when combined with growing
expectations to access data-intensive applications, is driving customer need for
the combination of ADVA Optical Networking transport solutions linked by Brocade
Gen 5 Fibre Channel technologies," said Jack Rondoni, vice president, Data
Center Storage and Solutions at Brocade. "The increased performance of Brocade
Gen 5 Fibre Channel technology better enables the functionality of the ADVA FSP
3000 by simplifying network operations and improving network resiliency."
Delivering full 16Gbit/s FC over wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks
enables enterprises to transport data across increasingly large distances: A
critical element in today's business continuity and disaster recovery planning.
Designed to enable a seamless and non-disruptive upgrade from current 8Gbit/s FC
deployments, ADVA Optical Networking's 16Gbit/s FC card natively supports all
Brocade Gen 5 FC features, including the lowest latency on the market.
FC is a key component for many enterprise networks and analysts expect it to
gain even stronger market share with the migration to 16Gbit/s. Dell'Oro Group
forecasts 16Gbit/s FC will exceed 8Gbit/s FC as soon as mid-2013. Often a vital
building block in mission-critical networks and highly-virtualized environments,
16Gbit/s FC is vital for enterprises seeking to transport rapidly increasing
bandwidth loads at faster speeds. ADVA Optical Networking's 16Gbit/s FC card
does exactly this while still being backwards compatible with previous FC
releases.
"Brocade has an innate understanding of the data center environment, of the data
center community," commented Ulrich Schlegel, business development SAN
solutions, ADVA Optical Networking. "We've worked side-by-side for many years
ensuring that both our solutions seamlessly interoperate. This is something our
customers value. Our 16Gbit/s FC card is no different. Our engineering team has
developed a card that is simply plug and play in any Brocade Gen 5 FC
environment. When your mission-critical data is at stake, this ease of use, this
reliability is vital."
