Welcome back to the second installment on Brocade 7840 IPEX. Today’s blog is all about improving performance of IP storage applications between data centers, a cornerstone of IPEX. There is A LOT to this pillar, so, I’ve devoted today’s entire blog to just to this subject. Here is a list of pertinent Brocade technologies implemented in IPEX that enhance native IP storage performance:

• Purpose built hardware and software
• Intolerant IP storage applications
• WAN Optimized TCP
• TCP Acceleration
• End-to-End Flow Control
• Data batching
• Jumbo Frames
• Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL)
• QoS (Enforcement and Marking)
• Compression
• Scalability
