Create High-Scale Fabrics in Less Rack Space
Protect Mission-Critical Workloads with Gen 7 Integrated Security
Autonomous SAN

The Brocade G730 Switch delivers industry-leading port density with 128 Fibre Channel ports in a 2U form factor. Organizations can both increase scalability and optimize space utilization. Built to support maximum flexibility and dense Fibre Channel fabrics, the Brocade G730 Switch offers cost-effective pay-as-you-grow scalability, expanding from 48 ports to 128 ports with Ports on Demand (PoD).

A Brocade Gen 7 cyber-resilient network protects against security threats, enables nonstop operations, and maximizes management automation. Fibre Channel fabrics are secure by design based on controlled access between servers and storage and isolation within the data center. Brocade Gen 7 technology further reduces the risk of vulnerabilities from malware and hijacking attacks by validating the integrity of the switch operating system, security settings, and hardware.

The Brocade G730 Switch with Fabric Vision technology provides a robust analytics architecture that delivers autonomous SAN technology through self-learning, self-optimizing, and self-healing capabilities. This technology gathers and transforms millions of data points into actionable intelligence to make fast, informed decisions to optimize performance and ensure reliability. By automating repetitive daily management tasks, IT organizations can significantly improve their efficiency and dramatically decrease the risk of operational mistakes.
