Brocade has launched a new series of data center switches let organizations embed network visibility on every router and switch.
Brocade said the feature allows organizations to achieve pervasive visibility throughout the network to quickly identify problems, accelerate mean-time-to-remediation and improve overall service levels.
New automation suite also provide automated network provisioning, validation, troubleshooting and remediation workflows.
According to IDC, two-thirds of CEOs at Global 2000 companies will place digital transformation at the center of their corporate strategies by the end of 2017. CEOs recognize they must become a digital organization to accelerate the pace of innovation and drive competitive advantage or risk being displaced by more nimble competitors.
Fast innovation can only happen with an agile IT foundation where automation works seamlessly with network visibility while digitally connecting all IT domains and functions together to eliminate silos and deliver end-to-end automation.
“Organizations that are going through digital transformation need networks that are extremely agile, extensively automated and highly visible,” Brocade SVP for switching, routing and analytics products Jason Nolet said.
“Brocade is delivering the breadth and depth of flexibility and agility that sets us apart from other network providers. We do so vertically across the data center stack, and horizontally across domains within the data center—while being open at every layer.”
