Brocade New IP

industry is validating our conviction, we'd like to weigh in. Here's how we see the New IP:

Open with a purpose—By reducing vendor lock-in, standards-based products enable choice that increases flexibility while reducing cost and complexity. These benefits help accelerate the rate of business innovation. And while we give you the freedom to choose and the flexibility to change, we also make sure that you have the same support and confidence that you've enjoyed from your proprietary closed solutions.

Innovation-centric and software-enabled—The software foundation of the New IP gives you programmatic control over complex tasks, tight integration with business support systems and high-value end user applications, and the freedom to develop strategic techniques for accelerating business growth. It's an inherently agile platform that goes beyond support for today's developments to embrace tomorrow's innovations, while maintaining strict adherence to business and security policies.

Ecosystem-driven—Moving beyond a dependence on single-vendor limitations helps you tap into the vast pool of resources that you need to keep pace with innovation. That opens the door to best-of-breed solutions such as security software that routes network-wide traffic based on a holistic infrastructure view and real-time alerts, rather than inefficiently routing traffic through proprietary hardware. Access to such best-of-breed innovations let you build the network and add the services you want, and move faster and more efficiently than your competitors.

Enabling your-pace-your-way migration—The days of disruptive hardware rip-and-replace are over. The New IP lets you evolve based on your business priorities, whether by overlaying new software services on top of your existing IT infrastructure or evolving to an Ethernet Fabric. That means you can deploy applications as much as 90 percent faster while cutting operational expenses in half. So you take evolutionary steps, and achieve revolutionary results as you modernize your infrastructure, your IT organization, and your business.
