The Brocade 7800 leverages the core 
technology of Brocade SAN fabric platforms, 
consistently delivering 99.9999 percent 
uptime in the world’s most demanding 
data centers. It combines enterprise-class 
availability features such as hot-pluggable 
redundant power supplies and fans with 
non-disruptive software upgrades to 
maximize application uptime and minimize 
outages. These unique capabilities enable 
a high-performance and highly reliable 
network infrastructure for disaster recovery 
and data protection.
UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE  
AND OPTIMIZATION
Purpose-built Fibre Channel and FCIP switch 
port density, bandwidth, and throughput 
address today’s dynamic I/O and workload 
requirements, and are designed to meet the 
evolving requirements of highly virtualized 
data centers. Supporting up to 350 ms 
Round-Trip Time (RTT) of latency, the 
Brocade 7800 enables cost-effective SAN 
extension solutions over distances up to 
52,500 kilometers (33,000 miles).
The Brocade 7800 maximizes replication 
and backup throughput over distance  
using advanced Fibre Channel frame 
compression, disk and tape protocol 
acceleration, and FCIP networking 
technology. Unique features and 
technologies include the following:
• FCIP Trunking combines multiple IP 
source and destination address pairs 
into a single logical high-bandwidth FCIP 
trunk spanning multiple physical ports 
to provide load balancing and network 
failure resiliency.
• Adaptive Rate Limiting dynamically 
adjusts bandwidth between minimum 
and maximum rate limits to optimize 
bandwidth utilization and sharing.
• FCIP Quality of Service (QoS) provides 
high-, medium-, and low-priority handling 
of initiator-target flows within the same 
FCIP tunnel for transmission over the 
WAN with individual TCP sessions per  
QoS class.
• IPSec support ensures secure transport 
over WAN links by encrypting data-in-flight 
with standard 256-bit AES algorithm.
• Advanced compression architecture 
provides multiple modes to optimize 
compression ratios for various  
throughput requirements.
• FCIP Fast Write accelerates SCSI write 
processing, maximizing performance 
of synchronous and asynchronous 
replication applications across high-
latency WAN connections.
• Open Systems Tape Pipelining 
accelerates read and write tape 
processing over distance, minimizing 
backup and restore windows. 
• Brocade Advanced Accelerator for FICON 
uses advanced networking technologies, 
data management techniques, and 
protocol intelligence to accelerate  
IBM zGM, mainframe tape read and  
write operations, and z/OS host 
connection to Teradata warehousing 
systems over distance.
• Storage-Optimized TCP optimizes TCP 
window size and flow control, accelerating 
TCP transport for storage applications.
• Brocade Virtual Fabrics allows fabrics 
that are configured with specific 
characteristics for open systems or z/OS 
environments to share the same platform 
and even the same Gigabit Ethernet 
interface, enabling consolidation and 
greater resource utilization.
