This makes Brocade Access Gateway transparent to the SAN fabric, greatly reducing management of the network edge. Brocade Access Gateway mode utilizes N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) switch standards to present physical and virtual servers directly to the core of SAN fabrics. The Brocade 6505 can be deployed as a full-fabric switch or as a Brocade Access Gateway, which simplifies fabric topologies and heterogeneous fabric connectivity (the default mode setting is a switch). The Brocade 6505 also supports multi-tenancy in cloud environments through Quality of Service (QoS) and fabric-based zoning features. It simplifies server virtualization and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) management while meeting the high-throughput demands of Solid State Disks (SSDs). The Brocade 6505 provides a critical building block for today's highly virtualized, private cloud storage environments. In addition to providing best-in-class scalability, the Brocade 6505 is easy to deploy with the Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard and Brocade ClearLink Diagnostic Ports (D_Ports) feature, which simplifies setup.Ī Building Block for Virtualized, Private Cloud Storage The base configuration includes 12 ports, with up to 24 ports on demand. The Brocade 6505 delivers industry-leading Gen 5 Fibre Channel technology within a flexible, simple, and easy-to-use solution. Industry-Leading Technology That Is Flexible, Simple, and Easy to Use Enterprise-class capabilities combined with a low TCO yield 40 percent higher performance compared to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) alternatives at a similar cost. In addition, the Brocade 6505 provides a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) thanks to a 12-port base configuration, easy administration, 1U footprint, and low-energy consumption-0.22 watts per Gbps and 3.3 watts per port. It augments Brocade ISL Trunking to provide more effective load balancing in certain configurations. Exchange-based Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient and available path in the fabric. The 24 ports produce an aggregate 384 Gbps full-duplex throughput any eight ports can be trunked for 128 Gbps Inter-Switch Links (ISLs).
The Brocade 6505 combines market-leading throughput with an affordable switch form factor, making it ideal for growing SAN workloads. Delivering market-leading Gen 5 Fibre Channel technology, the Brocade 6505 switch is the industry's easiest SAN switch to install, manage, and support.Įxceptional Price/Performance for Growing SAN Workloads The Brocade 6505 is a 24-port, entry-level switch that provides exceptional price/16 Gbps performance value, combining flexibility, simplicity, and enterprise-class functionality.
