PR - Oct 27, 2014 - Cloud Plus Taps Into Brocade Network Subscription to Facilitate Capacity on Demand
Cloud Plus, a wholesale provider of private cloud solutions in Australia and New Zealand, is turning to Brocade for its next-generation data center and MPLS network infrastructure and leveraging the pay-as-you-go flexibility of Brocade® Network Subscription. In the new Cloud Plus data center in Sydney Brocade VDX® 6740 switches have been matched with the latest Supermicro multinode integrated compute devices and high density storage devices from EMC and Supermicro to create a highly efficient cloud computing infrastructure. Because the data center has only recently been bought into operation, infrastructure utilization levels are still relatively low but Cloud Plus is only paying Brocade for the Ethernet fabric ports connected to active nodes. As demand grows, Cloud Plus can add more Brocade VDX switches to increase the size of the fabric network, enabling it to align costs with revenue on a dynamic basis.
Cloud Plus is planning to introduce Brocade MLXe Series routers at each of its Point-of-Presence (PoP) sites to enhance the scalability of its MPLS backbone and provide high-capacity Ethernet switching to connect partners and their clients to its cloud data centers. Traffic currently running through the PoPs is in the 10 Gigabits per second range, while the Brocade MLXe router supports 4 to 8 Terabits per second of switching capacity. Cloud Plus only pays for the capacity being used, which takes the guesswork out of network capacity planning.
Brocade Network Subscription is an open-ended acquisition model that allows IT managers to identify network solutions that can quickly accommodate ever-changing needs, without the restrictions of traditional purchase or lease models. It eliminates the impact of capital expenditure on balance sheets and enables organizations to refresh their network infrastructure. They are able to upgrade at any time and adjust network capacity on-demand without penalty, allowing them to focus on scaling their business instead of worrying about capacity planning and evolving network infrastructure requirements.
