Brocade has announced a number of investments including a $100-million evaluation program designed to enable customers in the Asia-Pacific region to quickly deploy Ethernet fabrics as the foundation for highly virtualized data centers.

"These investments demonstrate how strategic we view the opportunities in this region and reflect our confidence about our ability to grow our business in the core and emerging markets here."

The Asia-Pacific region presents a vibrant market opportunity for virtualization and cloud-computing related technology investments.
