Data center virtualization and consolidation are driving more change than the IT industry has seen in years. Although organizations are well on their way to vitalizing the data center foundation of servers and applications, vitalizing the networking infrastructure will require a class of networking solutions that can respond to the dynamic demands of a virtual data center. Service providers and enterprises now need record levels of performance and scalability to meet growing requirements for elasticity, shared services, and seamless availability and security.
In these cloud-based and virtualized environments - as well as in traditional IT environments - the need for application delivery controllers is clear. Organizations must have the ability to enable global deployment of Web 2.0 applications and address their challenges of network latency, packet loss, and server and network load - all while delivering uncompromised performance under high volume and unpredictable traffic conditions.
The Brocade ServerIron ADX series of high-performance application delivery switch provides a broad range of application optimization functions to ensure reliable delivery of critical applications. Purpose-built for large-scale, low-latency environments, the Brocade ADX series accelerates application performance and improves application availability - all while making the most efficient use of existing infrastructure. These benefits - coupled with the orchestration capabilities and elasticity - enable service providers and enterprises to deliver applications at a global scale with more efficiency and higher availability while streamlining operations, increasing business agility, and significantly reducing costs.
