BROCADE
VDX 8770
SWITCH
HIGHLIGHTS
• Simplies and automates network
architectures to enable elastic cloud
networking with Brocade VCS Fabric
technology
• Enables easy scale-out of multitenant
Brocade VCS fabrics with unied logical
chassis management
• Provides efciently load-balanced
multipathing at Layers 1, 2, and 3, and
multiple active Layer 3 gateways
• Delivers 100/40/10/1 Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) wire-speed switching with auto-
trunking Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) for
non-disruptive scaling
• Enables connectivity for over 1,000
server ports with scale-out fabrics,
10,000 ports with multifabrics, and
100,000 ports using multifabrics
with overlays
• Simplies Virtual Machine (VM) mobility
and management with automated, dynamic
port prole conguration and migration
• Is designed to support Software-Dened
Networking (SDN) technologies within
data, control, and management planes
Scaling Out Brocade VCS Fabrics
Data centers continue to evolve, creating a
need for 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.
However, traditional data centers typically
use inexible, three-tier network designs
that cannot efciently manage east-west
trafc or deliver the bandwidth needed to
support virtualization and new services
delivery. To meet these challenges, data
center operators need high-performance
networks that are easy to manage, can
scale out on demand, and can adapt to
future application requirements and
network architecture approaches.

8770 Switch allow organizations to
create data center networks that just work.
Together, these technologies provide
unmatched automation, efciency, and
elasticity in support of the most demanding
workloads—including big data, rich media,
and mission-critical applications—especially
in highly dynamic cloud environments. To

SCALE-OUT PERFORMANCE
The Brocade VDX 8770 Switch is designed
to scale out Brocade VCS fabrics and
support complex environments with dense
virtualization and dynamic trafc patterns—
where more automation is required for
operational scalability. Available in four-slot
and eight-slot versions, the Brocade VDX
8770 provides a highly scalable, low-latency
100/40/10/1 GbE modular switch.
