Ensuring data privacy through high-performance encryption
Today's organizations face a wide range of data privacy challenges, from cyber attacks and third-party snooping on private networks, to compliance and regulatory requirements. Ensuring data privacy throughout the network is therefore imperative as organizations seek to enable secure operations while increasing growth, productivity, and profitability. To address this, the Brocade MLX 20-port 10 GbE module supports IEEE 802.1AE MACsec, which provides 128-bit MAC layer encryption at wire speed. MACsec provides fast, low-latency, easy-to-deploy hop-by-hop encryption, which is ideal within the campus or data center network where the physical network is owned and there is a need to support unified communications and apply policy to traffic at the switch or router level. This allows for fine-grained management of the traffic while meeting security requirements for data-in-flight.

Brocade versascale packet processor
The Brocade MLX 20-port 10 GbE module is built on the Brocade VersaScale-200 Packet Processor. The processor is designed to enable service innovation through programmability and flexibility without sacrificing performance. The Brocade VersaScale-200 provides leading density, zero-packet loss, and line speed for all packet sizes - supporting up to 16,000 simultaneous hardware-multicast entries at line rate. The processor provides extremely deep packet buffering to handle the dynamic traffic. In addition, it supports large-scale Equal-Cost Multi-Pathing (ECMP) for 32 IPv4 or IPv6 paths, which is ideal for cloud service providers and Web 2.0 companies that need scalable solutions to handle explosive bandwidth growth and to optimize the core for efficient packet transport.
