Brocade G620 Switch

- 1U, 64-port switch
-
Workloads across 32 Gbps links and shatters application performance barriers with up to 100 million IOPS
-
Scalability—with 24 to 64 ports—for on-demand flexibility
-
Provides proactive, non-intrusive, real-time monitoring and alerting of storage IO health and performance with IO Insight, the industry’s first integrated network sensors
-
Enables Virtual Machine (VM) visibility in a storage fabric to monitor VM performance, identify VM anomalies, and optimize VM performance
-
Increases resiliency by automatically discovering and recovering from device or network errors
