Brocade has announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Visionaries" quadrant in the 2013 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Network Infrastructure report.
According to Gartner, vendors placed in the Visionaries quadrant have “demonstrated an ability to increase the features in their offerings, to provide a unique and differentiated approach to the market. A Visionary has innovated in one or more of the key areas of data center infrastructure, such as management (including virtualization), security (including policy enforcement), SDN and operational efficiency, as well as cost reductions.”
“We believe our placement high in the Visionaries quadrant confirms the innovation and value Brocade Ethernet fabrics have delivered to nearly 1,000 customers since we pioneered this technology category two years ago,” said Jason Nolet, Vice President of the Data Center Networking Group at Brocade.
