migrates, the destination port in the 
fabric learns of the MAC address move 
and automatically activates the port 
profile configuration within a single fabric 
or across separate fabrics. AMPP is 
hypervisor-agnostic and can be used  
with various hypervisors.  
FLEXIBLE DESIGN MEETS  
DATA CENTER NEEDS
Brocade VDX 6740, 6740T, and 6740T-1G  
Switches are designed to connect data 
centers with multiple options to meet 
individual design requirements. This flexible 
design provides investment protection, 
giving organizations a single switch that can 
support varying data center requirements. 
The following features help organizations 
meet their evolving needs:
• 10 GbE or 40 GbE uplinks: The 40 GbE 
SFP+ ports offer the flexibility to expand 
and interconnect the network infrastructure 
intelligently and efficiently while reducing 
bottlenecks. The switches offer the option 
to separate the 40 GbE uplinks into four 
10 GbE uplinks via break-out cables. As 
capacity and need increase, organizations 
can simply revert to 40 GbE when ready.
• Ports on Demand: Ports on Demand (PoD) 
enables organizations to activate 24 to 
64 ports. They can purchase the number 
of ports that they currently need and 
seamlessly scale up later by simply applying 
a software license. This flexible and 
cost-efficient “pay-as-you-grow” licensing 
model solves scalability challenges by 
allocating IT resources as needed.
• Capacity on Demand: Capacity on 
Demand (CoD) license for the Brocade 
VDX 6740T-1G enables organizations to 
upgrade all 48 1000BASE-T ports to 48 
10GBASE-T. This helps organizations 
migrate seamlessly from 1 GbE to 10 GbE 
via a software license without ripping and 
replacing the physical switch.
ADVANCED STORAGE SUPPORT
The Brocade VDX 6740, 6740T, and 
6740T-1G offer advanced storage support 
with multiple storage connectivity options, 
including FCoE, iSCSI, and NAS storage. 
They also feature Data Center Bridging 
(DCB), which enables the reliable exchange 
of storage traffic over the LAN network, 
eliminating packet loss when network 
congestion occurs and allocating bandwidth 
as needed to keep the network running 
efficiently. The switches offer Network-
Attached Storage (NAS) Auto QoS 
intelligence to prioritize delay-sensitive  
IP storage traffic within the fabric and  
help ensure consistent performance  
while decreasing latency.
EASE OF USE AUGMENTED BY 
BROCADE NETWORK ADVISOR
Brocade Network Advisor is an easy-to-use 
network management platform for advanced 
management of Brocade VCS fabrics and 
Brocade VDX switches across the entire 
network lifecycle. Organizations can use 
Brocade Network Advisor to manage a VCS 
fabric as a single entity or to drill down to 
individual Brocade VDX switches for fault, 
inventory, or performance management—and 
to manage multiple VCS fabrics in parallel.
Brocade Network Advisor also provides 
simplified management of AMPP 
configurations, and integrity checks can be 
performed across physical Brocade VDX 
configurations—either in the same fabric or 
across different VCS fabrics. In addition, 
Brocade Network Advisor enables VM-level 
monitoring and can help identify top-talker 
applications leveraging sFlow across the 
fabric. Finally, Brocade Network Advisor 
provides VCS fabric diagnostics, including 
visualization of VCS fabric traffic paths and 
network latency monitoring that enables fault 
isolation via hop-by-hop inspection. For

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ENABLES 
THE ON-DEMAND DATA CENTER
Data centers will continue to evolve as 
technology requirements evolve. With 
virtualization, cloud computing, and SDN on 
the rise, organizations need an infrastructure 
that is able to evolve with their businesses. 
Brocade VDX 6740, 6740T, and 6740T-1G 
Switches provide the features, performance, 
and operational efficiency for today  
and tomorrow.
