Speed increase in Brocade switching platforms is one of many advantages from Brocade's next generation ASIC family. Higher speed in the data center brings the immediate benefit of higher-performing ISLs and increased scalability; since ISL performance is doubled, more ports can be used for servers and storage. In addition, 8 Gbit/sec is needed for server virtualization, scaling of fabrics, backups, and high-performance computing requirements. Every data center user has or will have these needs in the future, and as data center plans are developed, Brocade's integrated end-to-end 8 Gbit/sec solution provides the broadest choice of capabilities with the highest performance and efficiency.
