An invitation from Brocade

[Haptic]

Hi all

 

As most of you will be aware, Ruckus have had a busy year. Part of the acquisition by Brocade has been a focus on unifying the technologies and the channels they appear in.

 

We were invited to their UK HQ and allowed a play around in their demo suite, we asked if we could invite interested parties along on future trips and they couldn't have been more inviting.

 

Brocade have an incredible demo suite in their UK Headquarters, consisting of several full size racks filled with many different variations of switches from their Campus/Access (ICX) & Data Center (VDX) portfolio. They also have a large array of alternative vendor’s servers and storage options to be able to demonstrate how effective their hardware is in a ‘live’ environment. Brocade are open to us taking any interested individuals to their offices to dive into said demo suite letting us not only show off their capability, but really get hands on with their syntax.

 

It’s also a fantastic opportunity to see how Brocade envisage how networking will take shape and to understand their unique take on architecture, design & methodologies for modern networks, such as Campus Fabrics; turning a set of geographically distributed switches up to 10km apart, appear and act as a single logical domain.

 

If this is of interest, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via PM/reply. For more information on Brocade’s ICX & VDX portfolio, please visit:
