technology can reduce or eliminate the inefficiencies and high cost of provisioning for
peak load across thousands of applications, while ensuring resiliency in the delivery of
those services, and avoiding missed SLAs due to under-provisioning. Typical savings
include reduced intervention costs when remediating estimation errors and application
SLA issues, reduced power, cooling, space to service existing traffic demands and more
efficient infrastructure that can absorb the delivery of new business processes or

A As an extension to Brocade ServerIron ADX application delivery controllers, Application
Resource Broker can dynamically add and remove application resources when needed,
based on application traffic demands. This is achieved through real-time correlation of
application performance from the network and infrastructure capacity information from
server infrastructures like VMware. The Resource Broker leverages ADX’ unique position
based on application traffic demands. This is achieved through real-time correlation of
application performance from the network and infrastructure capacity information from
server infrastructures like VMware. The Resource Broker leverages ADX’ unique position
in the network to provide real-time monitoring of application loading that drives
immediate, intelligent, and impactful response to changing application traffic demands.
This ultimately assures highly reliable service levels between end users and application
infrastructure without incurring the high cost of over-provisioning. The unique
combination of ServerIron ADX with Application Resource Broker associates the various
