Standards Leadership

At Brocade, we work with industry-leading organizations to facilitate the development of standards, technologies, products and services that focus on the simplification of data center infrastructure management and the implementation and management of data networking environments. We have a long history of being a major contributor to the evolution of industry standards ranging from Fibre Channel communication technology to storage network interoperability to storage and storage network management. As we continue to expand our presence in the Ethernet space, our participation in associated standards groups continues to grow as well.
