Maximize Performance for Application and Solid State Storage Architectures
Simplify Scalability and Management Complexity
Gain Control and Insight to Quickly Identify Problems
Simplified Management and Robust Network Analytics

The Brocade G620 delivers increased performance for growing and dynamic workloads through a combination of market-leading throughput and low latency across 32G. With Gen 6 ASIC technology providing up to 566 million frames switched per second, the Brocade G620 Switch shatters application performance barriers with up to 100 million IOPS to meet the demands of flash-based storage workloads.

It features up to 64 Fibre Channel ports in an efficiently designed 1U form factor, delivering industry-leading port density and space utilization for simplified scalability and data center consolidation. With this high-density design, organizations can pack more into a single data center with a smaller footprint, reducing costs and management complexity.

The Brocade G620 with Gen 6 Fibre Channel technology and integrated network sensors helps organizations achieve greater control and insight to quickly identify the root cause of problems at the storage or VM tier.

The switch leverages Brocade Fabric Vision technology to simplify administration, quickly resolve problems, increase uptime, and reduce costs. It simplifies troubleshooting with real-time and historical visibility in a single dashboard.
