Brocade Tech Summit †

• 2011/05/03 at HQ San Jose

Opening by John McHugh?, CMO †

• DC is key of next gen, new IT eco-system.
  • End node integration, connect / Understand DC infrastructure (Quality…) / DC become service provider. ＞ 3 main points
  • Forces are causing a deconstruction of IT Models ; Mobile explosion, data anywhere, virtualization.
  • Sprawl case; traditional DC(Low utilization, Server sprawl, complicated backup and recovery) > Cloud DC (High utilization, simple backup, server integration)
  • mainframe>Mini con> Client/server> Utility computing> data center virtualization> Virtual enterprise
  • CloudPlex? Architecture by Brocade //
  • last year "Brocade One Strategy"

FC Fabric products by †

• Server Virtualization adoption (86% of server workload will be virtualized by 2018)
  • 95% of shipment is Gbit > Fiber channel is main player in storage
  • VDI adoption ; 10-15% of all enterprise end point
  • The I/O bottleneck ; 175x CPU, 1.3x spinning media performance improvement > emerging technologies are solid state disks (SSD)
  • transition to private cloud architecture; private cloud attribute
  • demands on storage fabrics; see sride
• Data Center; Fiber Channel Fabrics & Ethernet Fabrics
  • Brocade is leader of FC fabrics; in 15 years
  • New products; Cloud Optimized SANs
    • DCX 8510 backbone; 384 16Gbps port 512 8Gbps ports
    • 6510 Switch for SME
    • Advanced diagnostics, monitoring and automation; simplifying fabric management
• Protecting customer investments
  • existing Brocade DCX chassis are field-upgradeable to 16Gbps and all new services
    • 1860 Fabric Adapter; Universal HBA+CAN+NIC

Ethernet Fabric; Doug Ingraham, VP, Products Mgr †

• what's Ethernet fabric; Resilient, Massive, High performance, inherently flat
  • not all fabric are equal; manual configuration, Rigid topologies, Inadequate resiliency, chassis are not fabrics, port extender are not fabrics
  • Brocade ether fabric; start shipping in 2010, see photo
    • VDX 6720 data center switch
• <De Persgroep NV story>
• Next wave of Ethernet fabrics; lunching in 2011
  • Increasing the scale, No-effort deployment, Indstry-standard management interfaces, comprehensive storage support with connectivity for FC, FCoE, iSCSI, and NAS
  • Brocade network advisor enhancement;
    • Virtual machine and port level view, Flexible policy-based management, peace of mind with advanced diagnostics, Powerful fine-grain role base access control, trending analysis with real time and historical performance level

Service Provider by Ken Cheng, VP †

• general; Video growth in net
• Cloud enables paradigm shift
  • Service provider transformation; PE(provider edge) router integrate into DCR(Data Center router) new architecture
  • software-defiend openflow-enabled networking; Hyper-scale data center, flow management, network virtualization
  • Key products; MLXe series router

Private and Public cloud by Keith Stewart, Drctr, Prod. Mgr. †

• trend; migration to the cloud, Web 2.0 and application disaggregation, IPv6 and new internet > need new Application delivery switches;
• IPv6 world; go pragmatic view
  • とても面白いプレゼン。写真を参照し要まとめ。

Technology trend by Dave CTO †

• Oracle DC come Ohio to valley, basic is internet effects;
  • Application and contents are networked and converged.
  • CloudPlex? architecture for all type of cloud.; fabrics, globalization, Open
    • fabrics go flat and fast.; change of application nature.; > Brocade Ethernet fabric architecture is flat.
