The Brocade Flow Optimizer is an SDN application that supports an OpenDaylight-based controller that provides real-time policy-based management for network traffic flows. When coupled with Brocade MLXe routers, the Brocade Flow Optimizer enables service providers and enterprises to gain proactive insight into their network traffic, mitigate network attacks, and eliminate network congestion, with the ultimate goal of improving the end user experience.

"Brocade Vyatta vRouter technology underpins our solutions at a number of our data centers, and it is essential to have predictable, reliable, and scalable connectivity to provide services into our customers' sites. The core routers from our previous supplier were expensive, unwieldy, and didn't have the right feature set for us," said Yoni Kirsh, managing director of Fastrack Technology.

VSPEX with VMAX3 100K is purpose built to deliver and manage predictable service levels at scale for hybrid clouds. This is designed to provide customers with the ability to seamlessly bridge their VMware private cloud deployment with public clouds, paving the way forward to hyperconsolidate and connect on- and off-premise workloads into a hybrid cloud environment.

Brocade® storage network switches, along with related storage management software, are branded and sold by EMC as part of the EMC Connectrix® family.

"Traditional Ethernet networks were never designed to address the needs of IP storage," said Ashish Nadkarni, research director, Storage, at IDC. "The growth of IP storage and the business-critical nature of workloads require a new approach to storage architectures. Dedicated storage networks, both inside and between data centers, are essential to maintaining predictable and reliable application performance."

In line with Brocade's plans to advance its leadership in these emerging and transformative technology areas, it will add new capacity in the India operations and effectively grow its development team in India, while expanding its sales force to support market growth. India is also home to the engineering teams of two recent Brocade acquisitions -- Vistapointe and Connectem -- making India a keystone in the company's overall growth plan and extending its leadership in software networking and virtualized network functions, critical technical components in New IP networks.

CoxHealth selected Brocade largely because of a desire to have a more agile, Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-ready New IP network to improve mobile data access to clinical applications, imaging, voice, video, and business intelligence platforms. The network must comprehensively support the healthcare system's vision of efficiently serving more than one million patient visits each year, across the clinics and the emergency departments.

The new Brocade® ICX® 7250 switch delivers the industry's highest 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) port density for any switch in its class to address the onslaught of user video and wireless traffic that is taxing campus networks.

SteelApp is one of the top virtual ADCs providing scalable, secure, and elastic delivery of enterprise, cloud, and e-commerce applications. The SteelApp product line controls traffic to and from applications and enables fast, reliable, and secure application delivery to users anywhere from the cloud or data center.

The acquisition of Connectem extends Brocade's leadership in software networking and virtualized network functions, by enabling service providers and enterprises to offer ubiquitous connectivity between mobile and IoT devices, data centers, as well as public and private clouds. Connectem's vEPC solutions integrate seamlessly with Brocade's software and physical networking product portfolios to deliver industry-leading New IP data center infrastructure.
