Brocade VDX 6740 Switch
Brocade VDX 6740 switch provides the advanced feature set that data centers require and deliver the high performance and low latency virtualized environments demand. Together with Brocade VCS Fabric technology, the switch can simplify network design and operations for a more automated and efficient network, offers the flexibility needed to easily scale networks, delivers the intelligence to more effectively manage Virtual Machine (VM) mobility and rack density, as well as provides a cloud-ready infrastructure.
As data centers virtualize more of their servers and VM density per server increases, organizations will require higher bandwidth connectivity to support the explosion of data and application processing. With 1/10 GbE connections, Brocade VDX 6740, VDX 6740T, and VDX 6740T-1G Switches deliver the high performance computing needed to keep up with the demands of a virtualized data center, allowing organizations to reduce network congestion, improve application performance, and meet the capacity required by 1 GbE and 10 GbE servers.

Product Information
Data centers continue to evolve, creating a need for an infrastructure that can support growth in Virtual Machines (VMs), distributed applications, and data, as well as the transition to cloud-based computing—without compromising performance. The Brocade VDX 6740 and the Brocade VDX family of switches (6740T and 6740T-1G) deliver the performance, flexibility, and efficiency essential to modern data centers, including cloud and highly virtualized environments.
The Brocade VDX 6740, 6740T, and 6740T-1G are all Ethernet fabric Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches that support a demanding data center environment. The Brocade VDX 6740 series of switches provides the advanced feature set that data centers require while delivering the high performance and low latency virtualized environments demand. Together with Brocade data center fabrics, these switches transform data center networks to support the New IP by enabling cloud-based architectures that deliver new levels of scale, agility, and operational efficiency.
These highly automated, software-driven, and programmable data center fabric design solutions support a breadth of network virtualization options and scale for data center environments ranging from tens to thousands of servers. Moreover, they make it easy for organizations to architect, automate, and integrate current and future data center technologies while they transition to a cloud model that addresses their needs, on their own timetable and on their terms.
