SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT AND
ROBUST NETWORK ANALYTICS
Brocade Fabric Vision technology provides
a breakthrough hardware and software
solution that helps simplify monitoring,
maximize network availability, and
dramatically reduce costs. Featuring
innovative monitoring, management,
and diagnostic capabilities, Fabric Vision
technology enables administrators to avoid
problems before they impact operations,
helping their organizations meet Service
Level Agreements (SLAs). Fabric Vision

helping their organizations meet Service
Level Agreements (SLAs). Fabric Vision
technology includes:
• Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite
(MAPS):
Provides a pre-built, policy-
based threshold monitoring and alerting
tool that simplifies fabric-wide threshold
configuration and actions. Administrators
can configure multiple fabrics at one
time using pre-defined or customized
rules and policies for specific ports or
switch elements.

• Fabric Performance Impact (FPI)
Monitoring:
Uses pre-defined thresholds
and alerts in conjunction with MAPS
to automatically detect and alert
administrators to severe levels of
latency and identifies slow drain
devices that might impact the network.
This feature uses advanced monitoring
capabilities and intuitive MAPS
dashboard reporting to indicate various
latency severity levels, pinpointing exactly
which devices are causing or impacted
by a bottlenecked port.

• Dashboards: Provides integrated
dashboards that display an overall SAN
health view, along with details on out-of-
range conditions, to help administrators
easily identify trends and quickly pinpoint
issues occurring on a switch or in a fabric.

Ensures optical and signal integrity
for Gen 5 Fibre Channel optics and
cables, simplifying deployment and
support of high-performance fabrics.

• Flow Vision: Enables administrators to
identify, monitor, and analyze specific
application flows in order to simplify
troubleshooting, maximize performance,
avoid congestion, and optimize resources.

Flow Vision includes:
– Flow Monitor: Provides comprehensive
visibility into flows within the fabric,
including the ability to automatically
learn flows and non-disruptively
monitor flow performance.
Administrators can monitor all
flows from a specific host to multiple
targets/LUNs, from multiple hosts to a
specific target/LUN, or across a specific
ISL. Additionally, they can perform
LUN-level monitoring of specific frame
types to identify resource contention
or congestion that is impacting
application performance.

– Flow Generator: Provide a built-
in traffic generator for pre-testing
and validating the data center
infrastructure—including route
verification and integrity of optics,
cables, ports, back-end connections,
and ISLs—for robustness before
deploying applications.

BROCADE NETWORK ADVISOR
Brocade Network Advisor simplifies Gen 5
Fibre Channel management and helps users
proactively diagnose and resolve issues
to maximize uptime, increase operational
efficiency, and reduce costs. The wizard-
driven interface dramatically reduces
deployment and configuration times by
allowing fabrics, switches, and ports to
be managed as groups. Customizable
dashboards graphically display performance
and health indicators out of the box,
including all data captured using Brocade
Fabric Vision technology. To accelerate
troubleshooting, administrators can use
dashboard playback to quickly review
past events and identify problems in the
fabric. In addition, dashboards and reports
can be configured to show only the most
relevant data, enabling administrators to
more efficiently prioritize their actions and
maintain network performance.
