Future-Ready Performance for Modern and AI-Driven Workloads
Brocade Gen 8 Fibre Channel delivers 128G high-performance connectivity with ultra-low latency and high port density. This enables organizations to support data-intensive, AI, and next-generation workloads while maximizing rack efficiency and scaling seamlessly with a pay-as-you-grow model.
Built-In Cyber Resilience, including Post Quantum-Cryptography (PQC)
Gen 8 is secure by design, featuring post-quantum-cryptography algorithm and protocols, hardened Fabric OS, hardware-based root of trust, and a principle-of-least-privilege architecture. This ensures critical storage data is protected against current cyber threats and future quantum computing attacks.
AI-Powered Autonomous SAN Operations
With embedded SAN Fabric Intelligence, Adaptive Traffic Optimizer, and self-healing capabilities, Gen 8 proactively monitors fabric health, detects anomalies, prioritizes traffic, and resolves issues before they impact applications. This significantly reduces manual administration and operational risk.
