Brocade 415/425 and 815/825 HBAs (FC HBAs)
As virtualization becomes more prevalent in today’s enterprise data centers, organizations require new server connectivity options with higher performance, guaranteed service levels, simplified management, and greater data protection for both physical and virtualized environments.
As part of the strategic Brocade Data Center Fabric (DCF) architecture, the Brocade HBAs lay the foundation for extending fabric intelligence to servers, virtual machines, applications, and services. This approach enables tighter integration across the enterprise, including both physical and virtual networks.
By installing Brocade HBAs, organizations have the foundation to leverage N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and maintain Quality of Service (QoS) from the virtual port throughout the fabric. And, to reduce administrative workload, they will be able to automate the SAN boot process to quickly deploy diskless servers and operating systems.
