Brocade Communications
Founded in 1995, Brocade is an industry leader in providing reliable, high-performance network solutions that help the world’s leading organizations transition smoothly to a virtualized world where applications and information reside anywhere. Today, Brocade is extending its proven data center expertise across the entire network with future-proofed solutions built for consolidation, network convergence, virtualization, and cloud computing.
DZ Solutions (DZS) is proud to be a part of Brocade’s Alliance Partner Network. Since the very beginning of our hardware practice, we’ve carried Brocade products. Offering the complete suite of Brocade products, we also provide expertise working with both their storage and IT networking products. Our technicians hold Brocade certifications and have hands-on experience in everything from integrating Brocade’s Fibre Channel into enterprise storage environments to helping IT professionals create cost-effective infrastructures.
DZS also recognizes Brocade’s innovation in converged networking and we’ll continue to grow with them so we can offer any of their connectivity solutions:
- Fibre Channel: Fibre Channel is the standard connection type for Storage Area Networks (SANs) in enterprise storage environments. Fibre Channel networks have long provided the reliability, performance, and network intelligence for low-latency, high-bandwidth applications.
- FCoE/CEE: Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology allows organizations to move Fibre Channel traffic over Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), while protecting investments and preserving Fibre Channel services and utilities.
- iSCSI: The iSCSI (Internet SCSI) protocol allows clients to send SCSI commands to SCSI storage devices on remote servers. It allows IT organizations to consolidate storage into data center storage arrays, while hosts (such as database and Web servers) “see” locally attached disks.
- Mainframe: Mainframe users face complex challenges in today’s dynamic data centers, including simplification, cost reduction, data protection, and the need for a cost-effective and “green” IT infrastructure. Brocade helps organizations meet these unique challenges in the world’s largest enterprises.
- FCIP: Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP, also known as Fibre Channel tunneling or storage tunneling), is an IP-based storage networking protocol. FCIP is among the key technologies enabling rapid development of the SAN market by increasing the capabilities and performance of storage data transmission.
DZS consistently integrates Brocade’s products as part of many of our projects because of their innovation, reasonable cost, and resiliency rate.
