Description

Overview

Realize an autonomous SAN that unleashes the performance and maximizes the ROI of your server and storage investments with the Brocade G720 Switch. The Brocade G720 Switch provides 64 ports in an ultra-dense 1U design. Delivering unmatched 64G performance and 50% lower latency compared to the previous generation, this Fibre Channel SAN switch delivers a fixed-port building block, designed to maximize performance of flash and NVMe environments to meet demanding workloads. With Brocade® Gen 7 technology, the Brocade G720 delivers far more than just speed and latency improvements. It can take the pain out of managing your data center altogether with the introduction of the autonomous SAN: a network that can self-learn, self-optimize and self-heal without intervention.

The Brocade G720 is designed for maximum flexibility and value. This enterprise-class, Fibre Channel switch offers pay-as-you-grow scalability with Ports on Demand (PoD). Organizations can quickly, easily, and cost-effectively scale from 24 ports to 64 ports to support higher growth. The Brocade G720 provides 48 64G SFP+ ports and 8 2x64G double-density SFP-DD ports, all in an efficient 1U package. The Brocade G720 base configuration comes with 24 ports enabled and can scale to 64 ports by installing SFP licenses and a SFP-DD POD license in any order and any combination.
Highlights• Build high-performance fabrics with a powerful, ultra-dense 64-port 1U switch with double-density optical transceivers. •Accelerate critical workloads with 64G links. 
• Maximize the performance of NVMe storage with 50% lower switching latency than Gen6. 
• Enable pay-as-you-grow scalability from 24 to 64 ports—for on-demand f lexibility. 
• Simplify troubleshooting by identifying and isolating issues. 
• Collect comprehensive telemetry data across the fabric to enable powerful analytics. 
• Visualize the data to easily understand the health and performance of the SAN. 
• Automate repetitive tasks to save time and eliminate human error. 
• Safeguard mission-critical workloads from vulnerabilities with Gen 7 integrated security.
