through a range of capabilities.
High Availability
The Brocade ADX Series provides multiple
high-availability options to suit varying
infrastructure and business needs for overall
enhanced application resiliency. Real-time
synchronization of sessions between two
peer Brocade ADX units operating in
high-availability mode provides protection
against system outages. If one device shuts
down, then the second device transparently
resumes control of client traffic, with no loss
to existing sessions or connectivity.

Business Continuity and Site Redundancy
Organizations deploying multiple,
geographically disparate data centers can
benefit from Global Server Load Balancing
(GSLB). This capability allows Brocade ADX
Series switches to distribute client traffic to
servers based on site availability, site load,
proximity, and other advanced metrics in
order to provide the optimal user experience.
Similarly, the Brocade ADX Series provides a
site redundancy solution for non-DNS-based
infrastructures by injecting network routes
for healthy VIPs from multiple data center
locations. These network routes are
propagated through routing protocols such
as BGP, IS-IS, and OSPF, enabling clients to
connect to the closest available site.

SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT AND
AUTOMATED PROVISIONING
The Brocade ADX Series provides a rich
collection of tools to deploy, manage, and
monitor Brocade ADX devices, providing
greater administrative control over
the network.

The Brocade ADX Series Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Intuitive GUI
The Brocade ADX Series features a dynamic
Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)
that leverages the XML API to provide an
intuitive system dashboard for detailed
traffic and system statistics, simplified
navigation, configuration management, and
real-time system monitoring of Brocade ADX
switch deployments. The Brocade ADX GUI
helps simplify management by providing
organizations with maximum visibility into
the overall health of their Brocade ADX
systems (see Figure 3).

Industry-Standard CLI
The Brocade ADX Series includes a
powerful Command Line Interface (CLI)
that simplifies device management and
reduces the administrative learning curve
by incorporating an industry (de facto)
standard look and feel, tab completion,
and in-line help.

Role-based Management
The Brocade ADX Series allows organizations
to create multiple administrative domains
and assign access privileges to users inside
these domains, enabling custom views for
different types of administration.

Application Resource Broker
Brocade Application Resource Broker is an
infrastructure software component that
simplifies the management of application
resources and helps ensure optimal
application performance by dynamically
adding and removing application resources
as workload conditions demand. Brocade
Application Resource Broker—which works
in tandem with the Brocade ADX Series—
provides these capabilities through real-time
monitoring of application responsiveness,
traffic load, and infrastructure capacity.

Brocade Application Resource Broker builds
on the strengths of its on-demand resource
provisioning function to enable core cloud
use cases, such as cloud bursting as a
hybrid cloud service and business continuity
(disaster avoidance) within globally
distributed data centers (see Figure 4).
