Brocade® DCX® Backbones are highly robust network switching platforms that combine breakthrough performance, scalability, and energy efficiency with long-term investment protection. Supporting open systems and System z environments, Brocade DCX Backbones are designed to address the data growth and application demands of evolving enterprise data centers; enable server, SAN, and data center consolidation; and reduce infrastructure and administrative costs. CHOICE AT THE CORE AND AT THE EDGE Brocade DCX Backbones are available in two modular form factors. Built for large enterprise networks, the 14U Brocade DCX has eight vertical blade slots to provide up to 512 Fibre Channel ports using Brocade branded 4 Gbps or 8 Gbps SFPs. Built for midsize networks, the 8U Brocade DCX-4S has four horizontal blade slots to provide up to 256 Fibre Channel ports.

Both models feature ultra-high-speed Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) ports to connect up to three backbones, providing extensive scalability and flexibility at the network core without using any Fibre Channel ports. At the network edge, organizations can utilize Brocade 8 Gbps switches, Brocade 48000 Directors, or—for complete backbone-class capabilities—the Brocade DCX-4S.

FLEXIBLE, MULTIPROTOCOL ARCHITECTURE
Brocade DCX Backbones include a Virtual Fabrics feature that enables partitioning of a physical SAN into logical fabrics and isolation by application, business group, customer, or traffic type. Optional Fibre Channel Integrated Routing alleviates the need for special-purpose blades or routers to connect servers and storage in separate fabrics. The Brocade DCX family supports 1/2/4/8/10 Gbps Fibre Channel and FICON®, FCIP, and IPFC.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY, RELIABILITY, AND INVESTMENT PROTECTION
Brocade DCX Backbones are highly efficient at reducing power consumption, cooling, and the carbon footprint in data centers. While providing unmatched performance and scale, Brocade DCX Backbones use less than one watt per Gbps—making them five times more efficient than competitive offerings.

To help minimize downtime costs, the Brocade DCX Backbone family builds upon years of innovation and leverages the core technology of Brocade systems performing at greater than 99.999 percent uptime in the world’s most demanding data centers. To maximize return on existing investments, Brocade DCX Backbones connect natively to Brocade B- and M-Series fabrics without disruption.

COMPLETE, BEST-IN-CLASS SOLUTIONS
Through extensive compatibility testing, Brocade provides organizations with broad choice to implement best-in-class solutions.
