As IT organizations increasingly deploy virtual servers and storage to consolidate resources and improve utilization, they must be able to dynamically provision applications on virtual servers and move them non-disruptively as workloads change. However, this increased mobility of application workloads can sometimes create unpredictable congestion in the networks connecting server-to-storage traffic, server-to-server clusters, and storage-to-storage replication. To address this challenge, Brocade Adaptive Networking Services monitor, anticipate, and detect congestion - then dynamically adjust bandwidth and fabric resources to meet application service levels. As a result, fabric intelligence can monitor resource usage at the application level rather than just at the port level.
