The need for application convergence, non-stop operation, scalability, high-availability, and power-efficiency places new demands on the networking infrastructure. As application data and storage requirements grow year over year, demand for higher port density and bandwidth grows and in turn the number of network devices and power consumption.
Specifically designed for data centers and midmarket networks, the Brocade® TurboIron® 24X Switch is a compact, high-performance, high-availability, and high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) solution that meets mission-critical network requirements for real-time applications, High-Performance Computing (HPC) deployments, and iSCSI storage.
iSCSI storage networks enable businesses to consolidate and virtualize storage resources while leveraging standard Ethernet infrastructure. These iSCSI solutions free up storage space that was previously tied to specific servers in Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) configurations. Increasing storage utilization in turn drives down capital and operating expenses.
