Brocade Network Advisor SAN Management

Brocade Network Advisor provides unified network management solution across Brocade Fiber Channel SANs, Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Layer 2/3 IP switches and routers, Wireless, Layer 4/7 Application Delivery networks and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. From a single application, providing end-to-end network visibility, bridging operational silos, and integrating seamlessly with leading partner orchestration solutions such as VMware vCenter, Microsoft System Center Operations Manager, IBM Systems Director, and, IBM Tivoli.

Brocade Network Advisor features a robust Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) mechanism that gives different network administrators complete control over their environments. All actions are audited, so organizations can examine historical logs to see who made which change and when.

Brocade Network Advisor intelligent dashboard provides an at-a-glance view into the entire SAN and IP network environment. In addition, it enables configuration, monitoring, and management of the Brocade DCX Backbone, Brocade IP switches and routers, Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), and FCoE switches.

Brocade Network Advisor helps organizations reduce network downtime through capabilities such as real-time and historical performance monitoring, traffic analysis, fault isolation, change management, and policy-driven remedial actions. Proactive alerts with real-time logging, diagnostic, and fault isolation capabilities help resolve issues before they impact application performance and SLAs.

In addition, Brocade Network Advisor provides a non-disruptive path and functional continuity for organizations that are upgrading from Brocade IronView Network Manager (INM) or Brocade Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM).
