Build a Foundation for Mission-Critical ApplicationsFibre Channel is the traditional and transformational networking solution for mission-critical applications and data. It is the foundation for the virtualized data center with years of deployment and customer success. Brocade DCX Backbones are a family of 8 Gbps Fibre Channel modular network switching platforms that deliver performance, scalability, and reliability for enterprise storage. Brocade DCX Backbones are designed to address the data growth and application demands; enable server, SAN, and data center consolidation; and reduce infrastructure and administrative costs.
Additional highlights include:

• Provides a highly robust 8 Gbps platform in two modular form factors for enterprise data centers supporting open system and System z environments
• Maximizes chassis bandwidth, performance, and port density with the industry's first and only 64-port Fibre Channel blade
• Delivers over four times the performance of competitive offerings to meet data growth and access demands, expand virtualization, and consolidate resources
• Delivers five times the energy efficiency of competitive offerings, enabling data centers to support more server and storage equipment
• Provides a high-density, multiprotocol platform for consolidating server connectivity using emerging DCB and FCoE networking technology
• Secures and protects data against threats and disasters with plug-in blades for data encryption and SAN extension
• Enables logical partitioning of platforms and fabrics into virtual data and management domains without sacrificing performance, scalability, security, or reliability
