14. IP Storage: Scale-Out NAS and Clustered Storage
Brocade VCS Fabric Value Propositions
• Scales out linearly in real
time without disruption
• Load-balanced
multipathing provides very
high link utilization,
reducing over-provisioning
• AutoQoS for IP storage
minimizes traffic contention
and ensures performance
• Native network automation
and Logical Chassis
delivers massive OpEx
reduction

19. Software-Defined Networking: Device-Based/OpenFlow
Approach: Move Control Plane Out of Routers
Physical Infrastructure Today
With an SDN enabled infrastructure
Network Controller abstracts physical network
Applications run as distributed
embedded software
INFRASTRUCTURE
Applications: BGP, OSPF, ISIS, etc.
Controls infrastructure with Programmatic
Interface: OpenFlow
Openflow
22. Software-Defined Networking: Overlay-Based
Approach: Build Overlay Logical Networks
East-west tunnels between
software switches (vSwitch)
enable physical network
abstraction (logical networks)
VxLAN, STT: VMware

24. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
Economics
Reduces CAPEX by shifting basic L4-7 requirements to
commodity x86 HW for public/private cloud services
Reduces OPEX by automating provisioning and
configuration
On-demand deployment
