Brocade VDX 6710 Data Center Switch

The Brocade VDX® 6710 Data Center Switch is a high-performance 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) fixed port switch that provides a reliable, scalable, and flexible foundation for supporting the most demanding business applications. It offers a cost-effective solution for classic ToR server connectivity, and the option to connect servers to an Ethernet fabric using Brocade VCS Fabric technology.

Revolutionizing the Way Data Center Networks Are Built
The Brocade VDX 6710 Data Center Switch is specifically designed to improve network utilization, maximize application availability, increase scalability, and dramatically simplify network architecture in virtualized data centers. It features 48 1 GbE copper interfaces and six 10 GbE SFP interfaces, and supports a rich set of Layer 2 features, making the Brocade VDX 6710 an ideal platform for traditional Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch deployments.  

Brocade VCS Fabric technology enables organizations to build data center Ethernet fabrics—revolutionizing the design of Layer 2 networks and providing an intelligent foundation for cloud-optimized data centers. The Brocade VDX 6710 can be easily deployed in VCS fabric mode with an add-on software license.

Additional highlights include:
  • Supports existing 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) data center server connectivity
  • Maximizes performance through 48 wire-speed 1 GbE ports with 600 nanosecond port-to-port latency and hardware-based Inter-Switch Link (ISL) trunking
  • Simplifies network architectures and enables cloud computing by delivering Brocade VCS Fabric technology
  • Simplifies networking infrastructure by eliminating STP and providing multi-homed active-active server connections for Ethernet networks
  • Simplifies virtualization server management by providing Virtual Machine (VM) mobility with dynamic server profile configuration



Compared to classic Ethernet architectures, Ethernet fabrics allow all paths to be active and provide greater scalability—while reducing management complexity.
