Dear Valued Customers,

As a key aspect of the Brocade® announcement to acquire Foundry Networks®, we want to assure you of our commitment to your success. You and your business are very important to us and are our top considerations as we move forward to integrate the two companies.

After the acquisition closes, we intend to continue providing the high-quality Foundry Networks solutions that you have come to depend upon, and to maintain resources and focus on Foundry’s product roadmap. In addition, we are preparing a detailed, combined product roadmap, including both Foundry and Brocade solutions, that we will share with you following the close of the acquisition.

Customer support and satisfaction are paramount priorities for us, and we will continue to provide the highest-quality technical support for Foundry Networks products, and to honor existing contractual support commitments.

Until the acquisition closes, Brocade and Foundry will operate as independent companies. For now, please continue to work with your respective sales representatives regarding any questions you might have or any additional feedback you would like to provide. We look forward to learning more about your critical business needs and how we can contribute to the success of your company. If you would like more information about the proposed acquisition, please visit the Brocade or Foundry Web sites at www.brocade.com or www.foundrynet.com.

Thank you for your continued support and business as we complete this important and exciting transition.

Sincerely,


Michael Klayko
Chief Executive Officer
