Brocade SLX Data routing of data centers

Brocade SLX 9850

In September, 2016 Brocade provided Brocade SLX 9850 – the solution for data routing of data centers developed for support of the organizations in the conditions of the exponential growth of network traffic.

The SLX 9850 router supports SLX Insight Architecture Brocade which is built in architecture that provides a possibility of universal availability of network with the unsurpassed level of analytics, allowing to answer more and more strict service levels. SLX 9850 also uses advantages of Brocade Workflow Composer to network DevOps automatic equipment based on the server which integrates IT domains during end-to-end automation of workflow.

Gartner foretells that in 2016 6.4 billion attached devices will be used around the world, is 30 percent more, than in 2015, and by 2020 their quantity will reach 20.8 billion. In 2021 about 70 percent of mobile traffic will fall on video. With the advent of a cloud service, a streaming video, Internet of Things and mobile communication the number of connections grows in geometrical progression – the organizations should provide the fact that infrastructure which they use today should be capable to sustain sharp increase in traffic in the future. At the same time, as the complexity of operation of networks continues to grow, the increased availability and automation become important conditions for ensuring business flexibility.

Key advantages of the solution on routing of BrocadeSLX 9850

• Broad availability of network. The architecture of SLX Insight Architecture of Brocade company provides approach to monitoring of network and troubleshooting that allows quicker, easier and more economically to have an opportunity of full-scale availability in real time, necessary for operation and automation of networks. Building in availability of network each router, the organizations can achieve universal availability of all network quickly to identify problems, to reduce mean time to repair and to raise the overall level of service.
• The architecture of SLX Insight Architecture of Brocade company includes the software solution of KVM for monitoring of the third parties and clients, troubleshooting and for analytical applications. It also provides the selected analytical channel with capacity of 10 GBE between the processor of packets on each module of the SLX 9850 interface and the KVM environment on modules of management. It allows the applications started in virtual machine environment to take data on the internal, isolated line, without interfering with process of transfer or traffic observation. For delivery of data retrieveds to analytical applications out of the platform the architecture of SLX Insight Architecture provides flexible opportunities of stream transfer, including the selected GBE service port 10 on each module of management for the out-of-band stream transfer and also stream transfer through any port of the module of the interface.
• Network automation of Dev-Ops. The platform of automation of network functioning Brocade Workflow Composer based on the server helps the organizations to increase business flexibility and to accelerate implementation of innovations due to automation of all lifecycle of network — from the initial organizational equipment and validation before troubleshooting and recovery of networks with the equipment of different suppliers. Working under the influence of the project open source StackStorm, Workflow Composer also automates workflows on several IT domains in a chain of such delivery services as networks, computing systems, storage systems and applications, connecting self-sufficient organizational divisions of data center. Brocade Workflow Composer supports SLX 9850 now and provides "turnkey" workflows, the configured networks, and networks with independent setup of a configuration allowing customers to use automation at own speed.
• The perspective platform of routing Brocade SLX 9850 provides not blocked capacity of a matrix of 230 Tb with the price and with a density of port of 10/40/100 GE on each blade. SLX 9850C using unique modular line circuit 1.5 of RU intended for the most high density and scale can support up to four million routes, two million full-color statistical and two million compulsory procedures that today and it is in the future worthy to meet the exponential growth of network transmission capacity, devices and services.
