Brocade outlines market strategy

Brocade Communication Systems commands more than 80 percent of the Fiber
Channel Switch and more than 90 percent of the Fixed-port Switch market in Asia
Pacific region. With the acquisition of Foundry in early 2009, the company also
has a rapidly growing Ethernet footprint with a presence in 17 locations in nine
countries.

Ian Whiting, Senior VP, Worldwide Sales & Marketing said, “Brocade has
identified India as a strategic country of focus within the Asia-Pacific region
and significantly increased its investments and commitment to the country.
During the last year alone, Brocade has doubled its employee base in the country
and would do the same in the ensuing year as well.” Whiting added, “India is a
highly strategic country for the continued technology success of Brocade both in
product development and engineering.”
