High-Performance Network Encryption—Securing the Movement of Big Data
This demo highlights Brocade’s high-performance IPsec and MACsec encryption
capabilities. Core routers deliver integrated 100 GbE to push the
high-volume IPsec data between data centers over a 100 GbE optical circuit.
The IPsec capabilities are built for AES-256 and Suite-B requirements to support
the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSFC) Program.
Data Center Consolidation & Disaster Recovery—Advanced Storage Extension
This demo utilizes the Brocade 7840 Extension Switch for high-bandwidth
data center interconnectivity with advanced data integrity safeguards for both
Fibre Channel- and IP-based storage. It also showcases simplified management,
enhanced visibility into data flows, and reliable performance for monitoring and
troubleshooting mission-critical applications.

Integrated Cloud Access—Open Standards across the Enterprise
This demo showcases the open standards-based long-distance stacking
capability of the Brocade campus network family. Several Brocade ICX 7450
switches act as a single core switch for the campus with live, continuous video
feeds of the Federal Forum event from multiple points in the exhibit area.
Software Driven Security—Simplified Threat Detection and Mitigation
This SDN demo features the Brocade SDN Controller and Brocade Flow
Optimizer application to identify threat signatures and mitigate these threats
via an sFlow analyzer. It showcases the ability to define the specific flow type
and activity that would be used in a DDoS attack—such as “elephant” flows.

OpenStack Cloud Orchestration—Data Center Provisioning
This demo showcases platform integration through the utilization of network
(Neutron) and storage (Cinder) plugins as part of a solution orchestrated as
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It demonstrates Layer 2-3 automation
leveraging Brocade VDX switches and NFV solutions as well as OpenStack
integration into Fibre Channel storage networks.
Advanced Mobile Tactical Analytics—Improved Scalability
This demo shows how a carrier-grade analytics solution built for millions
of subscribers can be scaled to a public safety or tactical cellular use case.
The Brocade NFV-based network visibility solution is deployed on a single
physical server that is also hosting General Dynamic’s virtual Evolved Packet
Core (vEPC).

Dynamic Traffic Management and Provisioning—Simplified through SDN
This demo showcases the Brocade SDN Controller and two applications for
dynamic traffic steering and NFV feature provisioning. The first is the Brocade
5600 vRouter EMS, an application for virtual router feature provisioning. The
second, Path Explorer, enables movement of IP flows using open SDN solutions
in a production network.
Automated Data Prioritization—During a Cloud Bursting Event
This demo highlights NFV solutions, including the Brocade Application Resource
Broker, Brocade SDN Controller, and virtual Load Balancer to provide load
balancing and cloud bursting capabilities in VMware environments between data
centers. It showcases dynamic policies that enable the network to accommodate
mission-critical applications while redirecting lower-priority traffic to alternate paths.

Secure Data Transfer—Mobile Tactical Environments
This demo showcases the Brocade vRouter and virtual SIP call managers to
securely bridge capabilities between modern VoIP and legacy tactical telephone
infrastructure using IPsec. Redcom’s new NFV call manager and hardware-
based solution provides unified voice between PC-based soft phone clients,
Android-based VoIP clients, tactical radios, and tactical field telephones.
Data Congestion Mitigation—Automated in Secured Tactical Environments
This demo features Ethernet Fabric Auto Quality of Service Adjustment for
NAS (IP NAS). It shows a remote tactical environment with a small footprint
server (VMware), Brocade VDX switches, and NAS components that encounter
storage traffic congestion disrupting remote and local service. The Auto QoS
automatically adjusts the NAS priority, simplifying management.

Secure Mesh Comms over Untrusted Channels—Enabled by NFV
This demo showcases the Brocade vRouter with the SPECTRELINK
configuration to demonstrate secure communications over the insecure Internet.
The SPECTRELINK system, along with the Brocade vRouter VPN capabilities,
allows credentialed users to securely access information over untrusted
channels and circumvent censorship and network access restrictions.
