OpenStack Summit? IP? Devops? Find Me!

Are you heading to OpenStack Austin? Are you doing OpenStack integration work? DevOps consulting? Understand infrastructure as code, even if you don't ever think about the IP network? Brocade wants to know you and wants to hear from you. Let's talk about StackStorm, Ansible, OpenStack, OpenDaylight, workflow automation and human-free networking. Come find me at the OpenStack Summit in the sessions or at booth D13. 

Yes Brocade!

We de-risk, simplify and optimize OpenStack like no other. Full stop! We made an early bet that open technology would be the architecture of choice in the 21st century, and that belief remains core to our strategy.

Brocade - The Leader in New IP Technology.

With good reason, most folks I speak with don't know that Brocade is a leader in open, programmable, datacenter IP. Brocades longstanding reputation as the global leader of bullet-proof, highly automated, zero-touch SAN gear, often has people first thinking about us in very specific terms.

Today however, Brocade is increasingly recognized as the most wide open, programmable, software driven IP platform, with certified OpenStack plugins across our virtual routers, virtual application load-balancers, our OpenDaylight SDN controller as well as both our IP and SAN switches. Right now Brocade is the foundation of the highest performing OpenStack networks globally. 

Third platform technologies including cloud and virtualization need a new type of network, driven by SDN, NFV and zero touch, scale-out Ethernet and IP fabrics. This group of technologies is collectively known as the New IP. But while the New IP term was recently coined, the concept has been ingrained in Brocade technology for many years. 

Lets Talk

How does the New IP fit into your business? Let's talk. I am looking forward to seeing you at the OpenStack Summit.

About Brocade

Brocade is the leader in New IP - the group of open, software driven network technologies. Now that the 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.
