Brocade and VMware partner to redefine SDDC, Network Virtualization 
Brocade(NASDAQ:BRCD) has announced its collaboration with VMware to advance solutions that support the New IP by allowing enterprises to more easily transition to software-defined data centers (SDDCs) and adopt network virtualization. Brocade Ethernet and Fibre Channel fabrics will be interoperable with VMware vRealize Operations 6.0. This interoperability will help enterprises to realize higher performance, automation, reliability and application and data availability in their data centers. Brocade has also announced VMware is participating in Brocade Network Subscription, which enables organizations to acquire both network infrastructure and VMware platform solutions on a subscription basis with pay-as-you-go flexibility.

"Our collaboration with Brocade on vRealize Suite 6 has resulted in an interoperable solution that delivers an agile, scalable network infrastructure and enables a seamless migration to cloud architectures. Working with companies such as Brocade allows for the creation of better hybrid cloud architectures for the evolving software-defined data center. This includes delivering a more unified and comprehensive management experience, and helping customers integrate physical and virtual infrastructures that can be viewed and managed as a single unified infrastructure," said Sanjay Katyal, Vice-President, Strategic Alliances and OEM Partnerships, VMware.

"Leveraging both Ethernet and Fibre Channel fabric technologies to support the New IP, Brocade shares VMware’s vision for a simplified and automated data center environment that allows our mutual customers to say goodbye to the status quo of inflexible, legacy network and data center designs. Our partnership continues to expand in uniting the best aspects of virtual and physical networking across a cloud orchestration framework to enable SDDCs that deliver greater simplicity, higher scalability and more efficient resource utilization," said Jason Nolet, Vice-President, Data Center and Campus Networking, Brocade.

The Brocade IP Analytics Management Pack provides intelligent and powerful analytics capabilities for IP-based networks supporting cloud environments using vRealize Operations. This initiative complements the jointly developed vRealize solution developed for Fibre Channel networks that was announced last year and is now shipping.

Brocade and VMware have also collaborated on developing solutions to simplify and optimize their entire networking infrastructure including physical and virtual environments. Last year, Brocade launched the Brocade VCS Gateway for VMware NSX, which allows customers to connect their virtual network with the physical assets in the data center. The solution has been well received by enterprises, with deployments now in test and development environments. New solutions based on VMware NSX are planned for release in 2015.
