Today's organizations are under pressure to digitize everything to be more competitive, maximize revenue growth, and increase productivity. Yet explosive data growth, coupled with user expectations of unlimited access from anywhere, at any time, on any device, is pushing storage environments to the limit. To meet these dynamic business demands, the network must evolve to improve speed, efficiency, and costs. This requires looking beyond legacy infrastructure, which was not designed to support the performance requirements of evolving workloads and flash-based storage technology- and will therefore impede the performance of an all-flash data center. Organizations need a new approach to storage networking to enable databases, virtual servers, desktops, and critical applications, and to unlock the full capabilities of flash. By treating the network as a strategic part of a storage environment, organizations can maximize their productivity and efficiency, even as they rapidly grow their environments. The Brocade® G610 provides an affordable storage switch without compromising on performance and reliability. Leveraging the power of Gen 6 Fibre Channel technology, it delivers a flash-ready solution for the always-on, digital business. With its combination of up to 32G performance, unmatched simplicity, and enterprise-class functionality, the Brocade G610 provides exceptional price/performance value in an entry-level switch. The Brocade G610 offers small to midsized data centers affordable access to industry-leading Gen 6 Fibre Channel technology. Organizations gain the best of both worlds: high-performance access to industry-leading storage technology, and the ability to start small and grow on demand, from 8 to 24 ports, to support an evolving storage environment. The Brocade G610 is also easy to use and install, with a point-and-click user interface that simplifies deployment and saves time. Designed in an efficient 1U package, starting with 8 ports and low energy consumption at 0.10 watts per Gb/s and 3.2 watts per port, the switch delivers a low total cost of ownership (TCO) for Gen 6. To help further control costs, the Brocade G610 provides real-time monitoring to enable users to actively monitor the switch's power usage.
