Specializations Recognize Channel Partners’ Deep Technology Expertise and Reward Solutions-focused Resellers
Singapore, 1 July 2010 -- Brocade® (Nasdaq: BRCD) today announced the addition of new, technology-centric channel partner specializations to the Brocade Alliance Partner Network (APN) program. Based on a combination of standard industry certifications and Brocade-approved testing qualifications, the Brocade Specialized Partner designations will help channel partners address growing customer demand for skilled expertise across a broad range of networking technologies.
To recognize channel partners who currently offer both Brocade Storage Area Network (SAN) and IP/Ethernet product portfolios, Brocade will initially implement the Brocade Network Infrastructure Partner Specialization. Additional specializations, including the Brocade Virtualized Fabrics Partner Specialization and the Brocade Application Delivery Partner Specialization, will be introduced throughout the remainder of the year, each with a set of affiliated requirements.
Qualified partners will receive a number of program benefits, including dedicated pre-sales support, access to seed units and proof-of-concept labs, opportunities for special accreditation, and dedicated lead assignments. In addition, qualified partners will have the ability to progressively apply their specializations to their overall rebate scheme to receive greater monetary rewards. This is in keeping with the core tenet of the APN program to continuously drive partner profitability through key program elements such as low- to no-cost training, flexible use of Marketing Development Funds (MDF), and deals and leads registration.
“Partners are under more pressure to demonstrate inherent value to their customers than ever before,” said Chris Ilg, program director of the Infrastructure Channels Practice at IDC. “Certification-based specializations really help partners bolster their in-house capabilities and knowledge base, while providing customers with the assurance that they’re receiving top-notch guidance and expertise for their IT needs.”
As increasing numbers of end customers begin to fully embrace the evolution toward highly virtualized, services-on-demand computing environments, the network becomes the critical component for the secure, reliable and efficient delivery of data. This growing emphasis on the network is driving the need for highly specialized networking expertise—from overarching network design and architecture to application optimization technologies. Brocade developed these new specializations to equip partners with the necessary skills and knowledge to become a trusted IT advisor and to support partners in their quest to drive deeper levels of customer engagement.
“The addition of these new specializations to the Brocade APN program aligns with our commitment to support our partners as they help their customers migrate to new networking technologies to future-proof their networks,” said Barbara Spicek, vice president of Worldwide Channels at Brocade. “Brocade is dedicated to the continual development of APN program elements that bring value and additional revenue opportunities to partners. These specializations will help partners to differentiate themselves in an exceedingly competitive business environment and enable them to become and remain trusted IT advisors to their customers.”
“Our new Brocade One unifying network architecture and strategy has been very well received by our channel partners across Asia Pacific. These channel partners play an instrumental role in helping us realize the Brocade One vision in the region,” said Charlie Foo, director for channel sales at Brocade. “New training and certification programs designed to educate on the new converged fabric technologies will be rolled out to about 30 percent of existing partners in Asia Pacific in the initial phase.”

Planning Your Network: New Hardware, Refurbished and Used Cisco Equipment is a Considerations
These days building and maintaining an efficient business requires a growing emphasis on the technology that powers your people. Speed, collaboration and connectivity reign supreme in the modern global economy. In order to achieve best practices and maintain a level playing field with your competition, you must always be on the lookout for ways to empower your employees to work smarter. Any modern business without a technology plan is destined to reduce their competitive edge and under perform the potential of their human capital.
The advent of the global economy and the age of the internet requires a proactive plan to get your employees connected to the web and connecting to each other. While IT departments spend much of their time and budget on personal computer equipment, choosing your company's network hardware infrastructure is a critical business decision.
When planning your network infrastructure always consider how employees will share access, what type of records you would like to maintain, what type of flexibility your company demands such as wireless access and how you plan to incorporate peripherals. Your network hardware and configuration are the key elements to driving employee collaboration and connectivity.
Price and performance are two key metrics that should dictate where you begin your search. The current market for network hardware contains a wide variety of manufacturers including Cisco, Juniper, Extreme, Foundry and more. New systems from the top manufacturers can provide incredible performance and security, but they can also be expensive. If you want a balance of top performance and price look for vendors of refurbished network equipment. Many companies specialize in providing price-conscience businesses with brand-name network equipment like used cisco.
Remember, when you begin the process of buying from network hardware resale, keep your eyes open and look for the option that suits your company best. If the company is selling pre-owned equipment always examine the level of additional services and support they offer. If you are in the market for new equipment, make sure you choose a manufacturer with a good reputation. Whatever your decision may be, keep your company's best interest in mind and you are sure to succeed.

Used Foundry Networks: Used IT Gear Goes Mainstream
Ask any IT manager what they think about used data networking gear and chances are their eyes will light up. Six years after the Telco bust, the secondary market for IT has grown up and with it companies have grown accustomed to buying used. But with the steep discounts come added risk and buyers are becoming savvy about negotiating the vast, complex market for pre-owned equipment.
Contrary to popular thinking, availability often trumps price as the critical factor for buying used. While manufactures like Cisco and Foundry Networks commonly stick customers with two and three-week lead times, virtually any piece of equipment can be sourced from the gray market in 24 hours. Of course the discount for used, which ranges from 50-90 percent off list pricing has proved to be the real elixir; coaxing even the most conservative buyers to board the gravy train. According to industry estimates, 70 percent of companies have experience buying second-hand gear today. What is tricky about the secondary market is finding good gear and buyers have learned a lot about how to protect themselves.
Estimates of the counterfeit and stolen goods trade for data networking equipment run as high as $40 billion, a figure deserving of some scrutiny having been published by the Alliance For Gray Market and Counterfeit Abatement (AGMA) a consortium formed in September 2001 by leading IT manufacturers including Cisco and HP. Whatever the number is, it's big. And as online market places such as eBay have exploded so has the level of fraud.
Search for "Used Foundry Networks" on Google or eBay and the results are myriad. Hundreds of resellers, predominately in the US, offer used switches, routers, load balancers and firewalls with varying configurations and terms of sale. With eBay's built-in seller rating system whereby for each transaction, the buyer and seller are allowed to rate each other by leaving feedback, buyers are encouraged to select only the vendors who have a high positive feedback rating (90% and up) and a history of many such transactions.
Buyers have learned that eBay also is a haven for counterfeiters, primarily from China who list new Cisco auctions at irresistible prices. To the untrained eye, these products appear identical to the real thing and in some cases will operate like normal. The trouble comes when the end-user tries to purchase support, known as SMARTnet from Cisco only to learn that the serial number is invalid or doesn't exist. By that time the seller has his money and has likely changed his identity online. For the customer, equipment failure is imminent and a refund is merely a pipe dream.
A quick Google search for "" will garner 1,600,000 results comprising mostly news and other product information together with links to resellers who specializeUsed Foundry switches in the sale of such gear. While most online users will focus on the organic links, companies with paid advertisements on the right side of a Google results page are considered credible sources as well.
Buyer Beware. Things to consider before buying used:
• Run a D&B (Dun and Bradstreet) on the company - D& B hosts a database of over 64M businesses worldwide. Through their Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) you can access useful information on a company such as names and contact information for their principals, company credit rating, and pertinent financial information. By verifying with D&B, you can be assured that a company is in good standing and is conducting business with fair-practice in mind.
• Validate all serial numbers - Serial numbers unique identifiers that are assigned to every hardware unit. By checking a components serial number, you can verify its authenticity and ensure the unit is not stolen.
• Verify Warranty terms in writing - As with any big-ticket purchase, it is always important to clearly understand the terms of purchase. Many companies offer a limited warranty that may cover parts, but not labor. With any used product, something that functions perfectly today, may encounter problems down the road. Make sure you understand what condition the unit is in, and whose responsibility the potential repair costs are. Be aware that there are many companies that offer total repair cost warranties to end-users.
• Never pay cash - This should be common knowledge, but cash purchases are not as secure as other forms of payment. Credit cards, wire transfers, and checks all provide a record to a company and bank account. This will provide you with a paper trail to a specific person or business should there be any disputes or legal issues that come up.
Picking up the phone and calling a brick and mortar business is always the safest way of purchasing equipment but it doesn't guarantee a buyer will not be defrauded. There are hundreds of trusted resellers in North America with a range of scale and expertise. Most firms will accept credit cards, wire transfers, and Paypal. A quick scan of a website will provide some peace of mind but buyers today understand that the more information they can glean on a vendor, the better they will sleep at night.

Brocade NetIron MLX routers
San Francisco, California January 30, 2007: With internet traffic increasing at unprecedented rates, service providers are ramping up their networks to support the bandwidth intensive applications of the ever-growing web. According to a recent Dell’Oro report, the worldwide market for service provider routers is projected to approach $9 billion by 2011. Targeted at Internet service providers (ISPs), cable network operators, as well as triple and quadruple play operators, Foundry Networks has made a power play for the metro network space with the NetIron MLX routers. Based on the flagship XMR series router, the MLX offers the highest 10GbE and GbE density available to address current and forthcoming service provider capacity requirements. With Foundry’s compelling price of only $600/Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) port, industry leader Cisco Systems is starting to take notice.
After more than four years in development, the Carrier Routing System, or CRS-1 was released by Cisco in 2004 at a development cost of $500M. However due to changes in the IOS (Internetwork Operating System) and cost of almost $450,000 upon release, it only offered a rare glimpse of light for competition in the metro network space. Not surprisingly, competitors Foundry and Juniper quickly jumped into the ring.
Built on newer chip technology and advanced processors, Foundry’s XMR series edge routers answered the demand for a comparable router that is almost 1/5th of the price. Released in 2006, the MXR 3200 and MLX-32 MPLS enabled routers were developed to
offer the highest 10GbE and GbE density and provide up to two billion packets per second (Bpps) of IP/MPLS routing in a 128-port system. These improvements targeted the Triple and Quadruple play service providers who host bandwidth intensive applications, such as video on-demand, broadcast television, and large scale Voice over IP (VoIP).
Just this month, semiconductor developer Cadence Design Systems announced they would be integrating the NetIron MLX as part of their new centralized data center network. With a price/performance level that rivals any router on the market, Foundry has raised the stakes in the competitive 10Gbe market. Rival Cisco has already started to position itself as a provider of a broad range of management solutions targeted towards the coveted triple-play sector. The release and initial positive market response to the MLX series will likely prove a challenge to Cisco’s previously uncontested dominance.

Where to Buy Refurbished Cisco Router Equipment
For those who don't know or aren't aware, Veteran Group Technology, Inc is the universal leader when it comes to the internet's networking. In today's world, one will find that all networks are a very important part of home communications, business, government and education - all the important things in life.
Networking solutions from Cisco Internet Protocol-based are the foundations of all of these networks and that is what makes them so essential; as without them the technical world of today wouldn't really be the way it is. Refurbished Cisco router equipment is available all over; online there are many different websites where you can buy such equipment.
Online is a great place to shop because you have such a variety and you can research as much as you want before you decide on something. Cisco is a very popular brand when it comes to networking. It doesn't matter whether the equipment you are looking to buy is refurbished or brand new, you will find what you are looking for at one of the many Internet stores. There are so many stores online, how do you know which one you should use to purchase from? This is an important purchase you will be making, so you have to make sure that you make the right decisions.
Do some research and find a few websites that sell what you are looking for, and once you have about four or five sit down and think of a few things. First of all, which is the most cost effective for you? Remember that you don't want something that is too cheap. The question people ask themselves when they see that something is too cheap is "what is wrong with the product?" So go for something that has a reasonable price, not too expensive but also not too cheap. It will also depend on the type of equipment you are looking for, like switches, routers and other accessories that are needed for networking.
Another aspect you should look at is if you are getting a warranty with your purchase. It doesn't matter that the equipment is refurbished; you should still get your warranty. With a warranty you at least know that if something does happen to the equipment you bought you can send it back and get a refund or another product. This is a guarantee that you will receive products in excellent condition, and only a store that is confident about what they sell will offer something like this. If they offer a warranty they have to be pretty sure that their products are good and people aren't going to need to use their warranty.
