Brocade VDX 6740, VDX 6740T, VDX 6940 and VDX 8770 Switches
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. - FIPS 140 #2770
The Brocade VDX 6740 and VDX 6740T are fixed form factor VCS enabled 10 GbE / 40 GbE fabric switch for Top of the Rack (TOR) fabric deployments. The Brocade VDX 6940 switches are fixed form factor VCS enabled 10 GbE / 40 GbE fabric switch for high density 10GbE switch for the TOR or Middle of the Row (MOR) or for End of the Row (EOR) configurations. The Brocade VDX 8770 Switch is designed to scale out Brocade VCS Fabrics (VCS) and support complex environments with dense virtualization and dynamic automation requirements.
