DATASHEET
BROCADE 8000 SWITCH
SERVER I/O CONSOLIDATION
THE BROCADE 8000 SWITCH IS A LINK LAYER (LAYER 2) SWITCH WITH A CUT-THROUGH AND NON
BLOCKING ARCHITECTURE. THIS MULTIPROTOCOL SWITCH SUPPORTS ETHERNET, CEE, FIBRE
CHANNEL AND FCOE PROTOCOLS.
BROCADE CEE AND FCOE PRODUCTS
Brocade CEE/FCoE products provide
high-performance, cut-through and non-blocking
architecture, allowing organizations to achieve
line-rate performance on both CEE and Fibre Channel
ports. In addition, organizations can seamlessly
introduce CEE and FCoE technologies to their data
centers without disrupting existing SANs or IT
management practices.
The Brocade 8000 Switch is a link layer (Layer 2)
switch with a cut-through and non blocking
architecture. This multiprotocol switch supports
Ethernet, CEE, Fibre Channel, and FCoE protocols,
providing industry-leading top-of-rack server I/O
consolidation solutions in a compact 1U form factor.
The Brocade 8000 features 24 10 Gbps CEE ports
and eight 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports. Using its
built-in FCoE hardware engine, the Brocade 8000
inspects incoming converged Ethernet and storage
traffic, separates it into storage and networking
streams, then directs each stream to its proper
destination. Ethernet, or networking, traffic gets
directed to LANs through the 24 CEE ports, while
storage traffic gets switched to Fibre Channel SANs
over the switch's Fibre Channel ports.
The Brocade 8000 provides a top-of-rack solution for
deploying new access layer servers with Tier 3 and
some Tier 2 applications.
The Brocade DCFM application provides unified
management of the entire product line.
BROCADE 8000 SWITCH
Delivers Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) and
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) for
top-of-rack server I/O consolidation solutions,
connecting access layer servers to corporate
LANs and SANs
Offers choice. Customers may start by deploying
the Brocade 8000 as an L2 Ethernet switch with
rich CEE features, then add Fibre Channel and
FCoE capabilities as needed. Alternatively,
customers can deploy the Brocade 8000 with all
32 ports and FCoE support enabled.
Features a top-of-rack, 1U, data link layer (L2)
switch with multiprotocol design that supports
CEE, FCoE, and traditional Ethernet protocols
Utilizes cut-through non-blocking switch
architecture to deliver up to 8 Gbps performance
with eight Fibre Channel ports and line-rate
performance for 24 CEE ports with 10 Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE)
Provides rich Layer 2 Ethernet functionality for
LAN traffic
Utilizes Brocade ISL Trunking for Fibre Channel. It
also uses Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) and Brocade frame-based trunking to
maximize CEE bandwidth
Combines with Brocade Converged Network
Adapters (CNAs) and Brocade Data Center Fabric
Manager (DCFM) to provide a unified CEE/FCoE
solution that reduces capital and operating
expenses (CapEx and OpEx).entication.

DATASH EET BROCADE 8000 SWITCH
A VERSATILE TOP-OF-RACK SWITCH FOR SERVER I/O CONSOLIDATION
Supporting Windows and Linux environments, the Brocade® 8000 Switch
enables access to LAN and SAN environments over a common server connection
by utilizing Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE) protocols. LAN traffic is forwarded to aggregation layer Ethernet switches
using conventional 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connections, and storage traffic is
forwarded to Fibre Channel SANs over 8 Gbps Fibre Channel connections. Part of
a unified CEE/FCoE solution unique to Brocade, the Brocade 8000 helps
organizations reduce their capital and operating expenses in enterprise data
centers.
UNIFIED CEE/FCOE SOLUTION TO REDUCE COSTS
The Brocade 8000 connects to servers utilizing Converged Network Adapters
(CNAs). Consolidating server I/O reduces the number of server adapters which, in
turn, reduces cabling and switch ports. This approach results in lower
infrastructure costs and less power and cooling.
Moreover, consolidation is not limited to hardware components. Because FCoE
preserves Fibre Channel constructs and services, it integrates seamlessly into
existing Fibre Channel environments, enabling organizations to introduce
CEE/FCoE into their data centers without disrupting existing SAN operations or IT
management practices.
To further reduce complexity and administrative overhead, organizations can
manage the Brocade 8000, Brocade CNAs, and Brocade Fibre Channel SAN
infrastructures using Brocade Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM™) as part of a
unified CEE/FCoE solution that is unique in the industry.
INDUSTRY-LEADING PERFORMANCE AND DEPLOYMENT FLEXIBILITY
The Brocade 8000 provides best-in-class performance using a cut-through,
non-blocking architecture. The low-profile 1U design features twenty-four 10
Gbps CEE ports for server and LAN connections, and eight 8 Gbps Fibre Channel
ports for SAN connectivity.
The advanced ASIC technology of the Brocade 8000 provides unique
frame-based trunking of server connections at up to 40 Gbps of combined
throughput. The switch also features standards-based Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) for LAN connections, as well as frame-based trunking of SAN
connections at up to 64 Gbps of throughput.
To meet current and future needs, organizations have the flexibility of activating
both the CEE ports and Fibre Channel ports, with full FCoE support enabled.
Alternatively, they can initially deploy the Brocade 8000 as a 10 GbE Layer 2
Ethernet switch and activate only the CEE ports. For SAN connectivity in the
future, they can add optional licenses to activate the Fibre Channel ports and
FCoE capabilities, providing a seamless path to server I/O consolidation.
COMPREHENSIVE LAYER 2 LAN CAPABILITIES
Leveraging deep Brocade expertise in Ethernet technologies, the Brocade 8000
provides broad, standards-based Data Link Layer (Layer 2) capabilities covering
Quality of Service (QoS), security, and Layer 2 protocols. The 24 CEE ports
provide uplink connections to conventional 10 GbE port aggregation layer
Ethernet switches (Brocade or third-party devices). Layer 2 functions are
configured and administered accordingly at the access layer.
FABRIC OS-POWERED, NON-DISRUPTIVE SAN CONNECTIVITY
The Brocade 8000 utilizes the same Brocade Fabric OS® that powers the entire
Brocade SAN product family—from fixed port switches to the Brocade DCX
Backbone. This helps ensure backward and forward compatibility, and enables
seamless and non-disruptive integration with Brocade Fibre Channel SANs.
HIGHER FABRIC SECURITY
To help organizations safeguard their critical information, the Brocade 8000 is
designed for the highest level of fabric security. It utilizes advanced port and
switch Access Control Lists (ACLs) to simplify administration and significantly
increase control over data access. To enhance access security, the Brocade 8000
supports Active Directory with LDAP and 802.1x security and authentication.
ENTERPRISE-CLASS AVAILABILITY FOR BUSINESS CONTINUITY
The Brocade 8000 provides a reliable foundation for business continuity by
employing enterprise-class availability features such as hot-swappable and
redundant fan and power supply assemblies. Combined with a wide range of
diagnostic and monitoring functions, these features help ensure highly available
LAN and SAN environments.
OPEN SAN MANAGEMENT
By networking Fibre Channel switches and the Brocade 8000 under a common
management platform, Fabric OS simplifies management through standard
interfaces and support for third-party management applications. The Brocade
8000 supports switch management through a Command Line Interface (CLI),
Brocade Web Tools, or Brocade DCFM (which supports Fibre Channel, FCoE, and
CEE).
