VDX 6710 

SWITCH 

HIGHLIGHTS

• Delivers high performance and ultra-low 

latency through wire-speed ports with 
600-nanosecond port-to-port latency and 
automated hardware-based Inter-Switch 
Link (ISL) trunking 

• Simplifies and automates network 

architectures and enables elastic  
cloud networking with Brocade VCS  
Fabric technology

• Optimizes network design by  

eliminating STP and providing  
multi-homed active-active server 
connections for Ethernet networks 

• Simplifies virtualized server management 

by providing Virtual Machine (VM) mobility 
with dynamic server profile configuration 
and migration

• Provides efficiently load-balanced 

multipathing at Layers 1, 2, and 3,  
and multiple Layer 3 gateways

• Manages an entire VCS fabric as a single 

switch with Brocade VCS Logical Chassis

Revolutionizing the Way Data 

Center Networks Are Built  

Seeking better ways to build clouds 
and virtualized data centers, today’s 
IT organizations are turning to high-
performance networking solutions that 
increase flexibility through leading-edge 
technologies. The Brocade

 6710 

Switch is a 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) 
fixed configuration switch that provides a 
reliable, scalable, and flexible foundation for 
supporting the most demanding business 
applications. It features 48 1 GbE copper 
interfaces and six 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces 
with low power consumption, making the 
Brocade VDX 6710 with Brocade VCS

®

 

Fabric technology an ideal platform for Top-
of-Rack (ToR) fabric deployments in existing 
1 GbE server environments (see Figure 1).   

The Brocade VDX 6710 delivers high 
performance for intra-rack traffic in 
virtualized environments, providing ultra-low 
latency of 600 nanoseconds for the same 
ASIC on the switch. This helps organizations 
design a network with no oversubscription 
for deterministic network performance and 
improved application response time. In 
addition, the Brocade VDX 6710 connects 
to iSCSI and NAS storage

*

 and simplifies 

virtualization server management, making 
the Brocade VDX 6710 ideal for demanding 
data centers.
