Brocade has announced the Brocade G620, a Gen 6 Fibre Channel switch for storage networking.

The high-density SAN switch delivers high performance and scalability designed to support data growth and demanding workloads from mission-critical applications. Gen 6 is the next-generation Fibre Channel technology that will enable organisations to address performance, reliability and scalability requirements for hyperscale virtualisation, data centre architectures and next-generation storage technologies.

The switch delivers increased performance across 32 and 128 Gbps links and exceeds application performance barriers with up to 100 million IOPS. It includes four Q-Flex ports that can support 128 Gbps or be split out into four 32 Gbps links. Delivering high port density in a 1RU chassis, the switch offers 24 to 64 ports for ‘pay-as-you-grow’ flexibility and scalability.

The Brocade G620 with Gen 6 Fabric Vision technology also includes IO Insight to help organisations achieve greater visibility into performance monitoring. This capability helps ensure critical SLAs can be met by monitoring IO statistics, including device latency and IOPS metrics, to provide intelligence for early detection of storage performance degradations. IO Insight extends and complements automated monitoring, diagnostic and management capabilities enabled by Brocade Fabric Vision technology to further simplify storage networking environments.
