Brocade has announced that it has been positioned by Gartner in the “Visionaries” quadrant in the 2013 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Network Infrastructure report.
Introduced in 2013, the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Network Infrastructure closely examines how the market has been transformed with new architectures, new technologies and vendors specifically targeting solutions to address the changing size and density of the data center, shifts in traffic patterns and the increasing requirement to simplify network operations. The new report focusses on how vendors are meeting these emerging requirements.
Jason Nolet, Vice-President, Data Center Networking Group, Brocade, said, “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. Enterprises and cloud providers of all sizes will be well-served by following Gartner’s recommendation to include Brocade Ethernet fabrics on their short lists for all data center network infrastructures. Our solutions, based on the Brocade VDX switch family and VCS Fabric technology, are empowering a new generation of on-demand data centers by delivering the world’s most automated, efficient and agile networks.”
Brocade VCS Fabric technology delivers twice the network efficiency and utilization of legacy network architectures through its combination of multi-pathing and load balancing capabilities at all layers of the fabric.
