Product Description
Brocade server connectivity solutions provide enterprise-class SAN and LAN connectivity for servers. Brocade Fabric Adapters are a new class of adapter that meets all of the connectivity needs of cloud-enabled data centers while providing unmatched performance, application-aware services, unified management, and reduced cost complexity. Brocade Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) are designed to help IT organizations deploy and manage end-to-end Storage Area Network (SAN) services across next-generation data centers, with best-in-class hardware performance and unique software features. Brocade Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) integrate 10Gbps Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) functionality with Fibre Channel technology--enabling transport over a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connection through the new Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols.
