Brocade and HP

HP and Brocade have shipped more than 10 million ports together and lead the market with many industry firsts. Together, in 2H 2011, we introduced the industry’s first fabric-based, end-to-end networking solutions purpose-built for virtualization and cloud computing based upon industry-leading, 16 Gbps, FC technology. Now, in 1H 2012, we are adding to the solution with the introduction of an entry level component which will offer greater choice and flexibility for our customers.

HP B-series Fibre Channel SAN solutions have long provided the most reliable, scalable and highly-performing foundation for private cloud storage networks. We continue to provide the proven foundation for virtualized data centers enabling hyper-scale virtualization for emerging workloads. And that is why customers rely on HP and Brocade leadership and partnership with their most demanding, and increasingly, virtualized environments.
