Simplifying Virtualization Through Adaptive Networking Technology

Category: Servers and Server OS, IT Management

Overview As IT organizations increasingly deploy virtual servers and storage to consolidate resources and improve utilization, they must be able to dynamically provision applications on virtual servers and move them non-disruptively as workloads change. However, this increased mobility of application workloads can sometimes create unpredictable congestion in the networks connecting server-to-storage traffic, server-to-server clusters, and storage-to-storage replication. To address this challenge, Brocade Adaptive Networking Services monitor, anticipate, and detect congestion - then dynamically adjust bandwidth and fabric resources to meet application service levels. As a result, fabric intelligence can monitor resource usage at the application level rather than just at the port level.
