Brocade Network Acquisition Alternatives

As many organizations face flat or shrinking budgets, capital purchases such as IT investments are coming under increased scrutiny. To remain competitive and keep their technology current, organizations need a way to invest in critical IT infrastructure and applications while protecting valuable capital.

Brocade Capital Solutions offers Brocade customers the choice of a specialized lease program or Brocade Network Subscription to help meet their financial needs and long-term IT requirements.

Through Brocade lease programs, organizations can conserve capital while gaining greater flexibility to upgrade their network infrastructures and deploy the technology they need to remain competitive. Brocade tailors each lease to meet an organization’s specific needs. Learn more about Brocade Leasing.

Brocade Network Subscription provides a new way for organizations to acquire network infrastructure and align network capacity with their changing business needs. They can now acquire a fully supported cloud-optimized network infrastructure on their terms, without upfront capital investment. Instead, they pay monthly for the network infrastructure they utilize.

Brocade Network Subscription does not require multi-year lease commitments, and risk is minimal since organizations have the flexibility to expand, contract, or refresh their network infrastructure as required. As a result, organizations now have a network acquisition model that provides the same level of flexibility as a cloud-based business model. Learn more about Brocade Network Subscription.

Brocade specialized lease programs and Brocade Network Subscription offer flexible network acquisition and support alternatives to help today’s organizations easily meet their IT requirements and financial needs.
