Customers with data privacy compliance requirements:
 Payment Card Industry
 HIPAA (healthcare)
 Government secrecy mandates
 Other confidentiality requirements
 Customers whose mandates require periodic re-keying
 Customers with heterogeneous data storage devices
 Customers using non-encrypting, mid-range disk storage

 Customers requiring Federal certifications (e.g., FIPS 140-2)


Click for Main Menu


 Is it a requirement for your organization to encrypt data at rest?
 Fabric based encrpytion provides AES-256 encryption for data at rest for both disk and tape.

 Is the sensitive information spread across a large number of servers and/or storage devices?
 Fabric-based encryption allows organizations to deploy encryption services broadly while managing
them in a centralized manner.

 Are your services focused on delivering solutions for security conscious and/or compliance driven
customers, e.g. government, financial services, healthcare, retail merchants?
 Security and data privacy is #1 objection to public cloud adoption for any customer, and even more so
in these particular segments.

 Do you have a need to encrypt both disk and tape data?
 Brocade provides the only solution in the market to provide both disk and tape encryption from a
single device, enhancing the value delivered from the solution

 Do you have heterogeneous server and storage environment?
 Fabric-based encryption is transparent to host and storage and as such is not restricted to specific
operating systems or storage vendors, and there is broad interoperability.

 Do your customers have a compliance requirement to rekey their encrypted data on a regular basis?
 Brocade encryption enables data rekey as a transparent, non-intrusive background operation.

disruptively to meet the needs of the most demanding environments with on-demand performance. It tightly integrates with Thales Encryption
Manager for Storage (TEMS) to provide centralized enterprise-class key management. The fabric-based approach to data encryption scales to
meet performance requirements across distributed and heterogeneous storage environments while providing a centralized point of management
for data encryption configuration and key management. Organizations can encrypt data from any switch port without the need for cable
reconfiguration. Deployment is fast and non-disruptive to the fabric.

•The DCX8510 with FOS 7.0.1 supports up to 9 chassis in a full mesh configuration for extremely high port count core fabrics.
The optical ICL capability in the DCX8510 supports distances up to 50 meters between chassis. In a 9 switch core, every
chassis has redundant connections from each CR blade to every other chassis and CR blades, creating a highly redundant and
resilient fabric while allowing customers to use every single FC port for host and server connections. Using FC16-48 port
blades, there will be 3456 customer usable ports in this configuration. ICL POD kits are required for each chassis and
Enterprise ICL license is required for each chassis when 5 or more chassis are interconnected.

The primary benefit of I/O consolidation at the server edge is that it simplifies server to switch infrastructure. Consolidation translates into
less adapters and less cabling to worry about. Simpler configurations also translate into easier to manage and maintain environments. With
less components, it can also reduce physical hardware costs and cooling costs at the server edge*. This assists enterprises in reaching their
goals for greener, simpler, and more virtualized data centers. With Brocade 1860 Fabric Adapters and AnyIO technology, the 1860 ports can
be configured to operate as an HBA, NIC, or CNA card. (in this they are configured as CNA cards)
