Brocade SDN Controller

The Brocade SDN Controller controller is based on the open code OpenDaylight without adding of any proprietary components. Brocade holds testing of compatibility with products of a great number of producers and provides a full support of the environments constructed using the SDN controller from Brocade. Besides, Brocade and its partners offer different programs of support, training and consultation. So, Brocade can act as the consulting partner, helping with planning of architecture of SDN networks, its development and implementation. The training courses of Brocade available in different formats lay the conceptual foundation and give the skills necessary for the IT organizations for successful implementation of the program configured networks. At last, the online community Brocade offers a broad spectrum of resources: in addition to downloading of Brocade SDN Controller, end users and developers can attend forums, receive the necessary documentation and address to the center of technical support Brocade, share scenarios of use, training materials and examples and also to learn about the latest news in the world of network technologies open source.

The functionality of the controller is complemented with new applications for the program configured networks. So, the free Brocade Topology Manager program displays network topology, allowing the administrator to create lists of nodes and to carry out on them simple search. The second application expands these functions — in Brocade Flow Manager the user can browse network topology in the mode close to real time, with display of flows from beginning to end and to manage redirection of traffic and segmentation of network. Besides, new Brocade SDN Controller supports recently announced technology of intellectual traffic management Brocade Flow Optimizer which with anticipation reacts to changes in network activity and reduces danger of network attacks.
