Brocade VDX 6720 Data Center Switches

Revolutionizing the Way Data Center Networks Are Built
The Brocade VDX 6720 delivers innovative technology to enhance and simplify networks. In addition, it offers a rich set of Layer 2 features, making the Brocade VDX 6720 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 6720 can be easily deployed in VCS fabric mode with an add-on software license.

The Brocade VDX 6720 is available in two models—the 2U Brocade VDX 6720-60 with 60 10 GbE LAN ports, and the 1U Brocade VDX 6720-24 with 24 10 GbE LAN ports. Both models provide Ethernet storage connectivity for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI, and NAS.

Additional highlights include:
  • Offers high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) data center LAN ports in a fixed port switch configuration
  • Provides industry-leading performance and ultra-low latency through wire-speed 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
  • Provides Ethernet storage connectivity for FCoE, iSCSI, and NAS  
  • 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.
