Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) shares rose on Wednesday after the company unveiled its new Brocade Gen 8 networking platforms, featuring advanced “quantum-ready” security designed to protect enterprise storage from the emerging threats of quantum computing.
The company said it has launched its new Brocade X8 Directors and Brocade G820 56-port switch — the first 128G Fibre Channel systems built to support today's high-demand data workloads and fast-growing enterprise AI use. The new Brocade Gen 8 technology protects storage networks from future cyber threats and uses built-in automation to simplify management.
The Brocade X8 Directors serve as the backbone of large data environments, while the Brocade G820 switch supports smaller setups or operates at the network edge.
As companies face more advanced threats fueled by AI and future quantum computing, Broadcom has added stronger encryption and strict access controls to help safeguard sensitive data. The Gen 8 platform is designed to address weaknesses in storage networks and block unauthorized activity.
The $1.6 trillion Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) rival gained 53% year-to-date, driven by custom AI chip collaborations with companies like OpenAI and by demand for its networking equipment.
Broadcom also introduced AI-driven tools that help teams manage storage infrastructure more easily. The system monitors the network, learns how workloads behave, and fixes emerging issues faster by giving full visibility into all connected devices, including virtual machines.
The Brocade Adaptive Traffic Optimizer automatically spreads data flows across channels to avoid congestion and keep key applications running smoothly. It can detect problematic traffic and isolate it before it slows down the system.
The Brocade X8 Director supports up to 384 high-speed ports, delivering the bandwidth and low latency needed for rapidly expanding workloads.
The Brocade G820 Switch fits into a compact 1U rack, providing 56 high-speed ports and strong performance for AI-focused and real-time environments.
Broadcom is unlocking greater value in the private cloud market by expanding its alliance with NEC Corporation to accelerate adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation. By helping NEC deploy VCF inside its own operations and build deeper expertise, Broadcom is strengthening support for enterprises moving to secure, scalable hybrid-cloud environments — and driving broader demand for its cloud infrastructure technology.
Price Action: AVGO stock was trading 5.42% higher at $358.96 at last check on Wednesday.
