Simplifying SAN Storage for

the Dell PowerEdge M1000e

Blade Enclosure

To keep pace with growing business

demands, data centers are transitioning

tohighlyvirtualized,privatecloudstorage

environments. This approach enables

organizationstoconsolidateandsimplify

their IT resources, resulting in increased

businessagilityandlowercapitaland

operating expenses. But virtualization is

not without its challenges. Data centers

must keep up with the explosive data

growthanddynamicchangesdrivenby

virtualized workloads. Selecting the right

compute and storage infrastructure is

keytorealizingthefullbenetsofthese

cloud-based architectures.

The Brocade M6505 is an integrated Fibre

Channel switch for the Dell M1000e chassis

that provides Fibre Channel port and

cable aggregation. The integrated design

eliminates the space, cooling, and power

requirements of an external switch.

In addition, it consolidates I/O from all

of the blade servers in up to eight shared

switch ports.

A BUILDING BLOCK FOR

VIRTUALIZED, PRIVATE CLOUD

STORAGE

The Brocade M6505 provides a critical

buildingblockfortoday’shighlyvirtualized,

private cloud storage environments. It

simpliesservervirtualizationandVirtual

Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) management

while meeting the high-throughput demands

of Solid State Disks (SSDs). The Brocade

M6505alsosupportsmultitenancyincloud

environmentsthroughQualityofService

(QoS) and fabric-based zoning features.

The Brocade M6505 combines market-

leading throughput, making it ideal for

growingSANworkloads.The24ports
