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).

The Brocade 7800 Extension Switch
supports the following Brocade Fabric
Vision technology features:
• Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite
(MAPS):
Provides a pre-built, policy-
based threshold monitoring and alerting
tool that proactively monitors storage
extension network health based on a
comprehensive set of metrics per circuit.
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.

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.

• 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 across a storage
extension network, including the ability
to automatically learn flows and non-
disruptively monitor flow performance.
Administrators can monitor all flows
from a specific storage device that is
writing to or reading from a destination
storage device/LUNs or across a
storage extension network. Additionally,
they can perform LUN-level monitoring
of specific frame types to identify
resource contention or congestion that
is impacting application performance.

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.
