Used Brocade DCX Backbones

The Brocade DCX and
DCX-4S Backbones provide the backbone foundation for today's datacenters. They manage large server/storage environments. They consist of 8 Gb/sec Fibre Channel (FC) ports,  deliver unmatched performance,  designed for future-built extensibility, and are energy efficient.

The used Brocade DCX Backbone's ports can operate simultaneously at full 8Gb or 4Gb speed. It contains 3 Tbit/sec chassis bandwidth (6 Tbit/sec for dual-chassis configuration) and 512 Gbit/sec of aggregate ICL bandwidth. It has up to 384 8Gb Fibre Channel ports in a single chassis, up to 768 8Gb Fibre Channel ports in a dual-chassis configuration, and
256 Gbit/sec bandwidth per slot plus local switching.

The DCX Backbone's Fibre Channel Integrated Routing produces less than one-half watt per Gbit/sec. The specialty blades are designed for 10 Gbit/sec connectivity over dark fiber, FCIP SAN extension, and fabric-based applications.

It uses hot-pluggable components such as redundant power supplies, fans, WWN cards, blades, and optics. It also comes with plug-in services for fabric-based data encryption, storage virtualization, continuous data protection and replication, and online data migration.

Key Benefits

  • Consolidates datacenter connectivity for highly available, lossless networking;

  • 8 Gb/sec FC simplifies datacenter connectivity by reducing the number of FC links;

  • Improves data access, protection, and migration of storage;

  • Improves energy efficiency by combining higher bandwidth with lower power consumption;

  • Enables interoperability with Brocade, Brocade M-Series, and other vendors' fabrics.
