Number of employees 4,712 (As of February 17, 2016) Website Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. Is an American technology company specializing in data and storage networking products. Originally known for its storage networks, the company expanded include a wide range of products marketed as technologies.

Offerings included and for, campus and carrier environments, IP and Fibre Channel storage network fabrics; (NFV) and (SDN) markets such as a commercial edition of the controller; and network management software that spans physical and virtual devices. On November 2, 2016, Singapore-based chip maker announced they were buying Brocade for about $5.5 billion. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • History [ ] Brocade was founded in August 1995, by (a venture capitalist, a former executive from and a professional auto racer), (a co-author of the specification) and Paul R.

Bonderson (a former executive from and Sun). Neiman became the first CEO of the company. Brocade was incorporated on May 14, 1998, in. The company's first product, SilkWorm, which was a Fibre Channel switch, was released in early 1997. On May 25, 1999, the company went public at a split-adjusted price of $4.75. On (IPO), the company offered 3,250,000 shares, with an additional 487,500 shares offered to the underwriters to cover over-allotments.

The top three underwriters (based on number of shares) for Brocade's IPO were, in order,,, and. Brocade stock traded in the of the GS stock market under the ticker symbol BRCD. A second generation of switches was announced in 1999.

On January 14, 2013, Brocade named Lloyd Carney as new chief executive. On November 2, 2016, Singapore-based chip maker announced they were buying Brocade for $5.5 billion. As part of the announcement, Broadcom said they would sell Brocade's networking business to avoid competing with its top customers such as.

On August 8, 2017, Brocade announced that its SDN technology had been spun off as a new company called Lumina Networks. This follows the sales of other divisions designed to allow the Broadcom acquisition to proceed, including Ruckus Wireless, Connectem (vEPC), Virtual ADC, Vyatta & vRouter, and Brocade's data center networking business. Products [ ] Brocade hardware products include Fibre Channel (SAN) directors and switches; ultra-low-latency data center switches;, Federal and enterprise Ethernet (/); (); (load balancers); Fibre Channel fabric extension switches; embedded and switch blades; Fibre Channel (HBAs); (CNAs), and. Other hardware solutions from Brocade support common protocols including,,,,,, and Layer 4-7 networking protocols.

[ ] Brocade also sells software-based networking devices including technology for,, virtual routers, virtual firewalls, virtual (load balancers), and VPNs through its wholly owned subsidiary,. Fibre Channel [ ] Brocade's first Fibre Channel switch SilkWorm 1000 (SW1000) (released in 1997) was based on the 'Stitch' and their own -based firmware ( or FOS). SilkWorm eventually came to be a long-lived marketing designation for an entire line of products, with the first product being retro-named the SilkWorm 1000 (SW1000) to distinguish it from subsequent platforms. Bruce Bergman was the during most of this period. Product names were generally puns on various kinds of, since a switched Fibre Channel network is also called a '. In 1998, joined the company as CEO.

In 2001, Brocade released the SilkWorm 6400, which was designated a 'director' similarly to IBM already well-established in the market. The term 'director' became universally used for more expensive FC switches. From 2001 to 2003, Brocade released switches based on its third generation ASIC, 'BLOOM' (Big LOOM). BLOOM introduced increased throughput of 2 Gbit/s instead of 1 Gbit/s. Brocade integrated BLOOM into its first 'pure' director, the SilkWorm 12000, in April 2002. The director offered up to 128 ports in two 64-port pseudo-switches ( domains). The 12000 represented several internal architecture and technical changes besides the new ASIC: it had an upgraded control processor architecture ( moved to ), changed the embedded operating system (FOS v4.0 migrated from Wind River Systems VxWorks to ), and introduced the architecture (hierarchical PCI buses with replaceable blades attached to a backplane).

The Bloom ASIC also introduced a notable capability of frame-level trunking, which provided high throughput with load balancing across multiple cables. It needed to be implemented in the ASIC hardware to ensure in-order delivery of frames. Also hot firmware upgrade was introduced with FOS v4.1 in October 2003. At the time, Brocade's main rival,, held over 90% market share in director segment, owing to a strong position first in the ESCON market, and then in the FICON market. The SilkWorm 12000 director gained over one-third of the market share after its release in 2002. Brocade added mainframe customers with and FICON CUP support on the SilkWorm 12000. In 2003, the SilkWorm 12000 was named “Storage Product of the Year” by Computing.

In 2004, the BLOOM II improved on the previous ASIC design by reducing its power consumption and die size, while maintaining 2 Gbit/s technology. It powered Brocade’s second generation director, the SilkWorm 24000. Still a 128 port design, it was the first one which could operate as a single 128-port switch (a single domain). The new director also used approximately two thirds less power than its predecessor.

Brocade introduced also its first multiprotocol Fibre Channel router, the SilkWorm 7420. Brocade also acquired Rhapsody Networks (a SAN virtualization ). This was also the time frame in which Brocade first entered into the embedded switch market, delivering multiple switches physically integrated into other vendors' hardware, such as storage controllers and chassis. [ ] As of March 2009, Brocade had sold over 10 million SAN switch ports with over 44,000 directors installed, and held 75.5% of the overall SAN switch market (Dell'Oro Group, 1Q09 SAN Report). [ ] In Late 2010 Brocade introduced (VCS) on the VDX ultra-low-latency data center switch product line. These are - and -based switches, eliminating the need for, and supporting multi-hop (FCoE) and self-trunking. [ ] In May 2011, Brocade launched the industry's first ' (16 Gbit/s) SAN platform family including the Brocade DCX 8510 Backbone, 6510 switch and 1860 Fabric Adapter.

The Brocade DCX 8510 is available in 8-slot or 4-slot chassis models supporting up to 384 16 Gbit/s ports at line-rate speeds and 8.2 terabits per second (Tbit/s) of chassis bandwidth. It includes optical UltraScale inter-chassis links (ICLs) which simplify scale-out design for multi-chassis architectures. The Brocade 6510 switch is a 48-port 16 Gbit/s switch designed for virtualized applications and high-performance storage including arrays.

Brocade also introduced the, the industry's first adapter which includes 16 Gbit/s,, and functionality on the same card. In April 2012, Brocade launched the 6505 switch (24-port) entry-level switch. In March 2013, Brocade launched the 6520 96-port Gen 5 Fibre Channel high-density switch and announced Brocade Fabric Vision technology.

Brocade Fabric Vision technology introduces advanced diagnostics, monitoring, and management capabilities through a combination of ASIC, FOS, and Brocade Network Advisor. New features include Brocade Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS) for fabric-wide threshold configuration and monitoring and Brocade Flow Vision for data flow monitoring and analysis. SAN ASICs [ ] Brocade designs its Fibre Channel ASICs for performing switching functions in its SAN switches.

The first family of SAN switches, the SilkWorm 1000, released in 1997, were based on the first generation of Brocade ASICs, called Stitch. The SilkWorm 6400 series of SAN Director class switches and SilkWorm 2400/2800 switches, released in 1999, were based on the second generation of Brocade ASICs, called LOOM. The SilkWorm 0 SAN Directors and SilkWorm 3200/3800/3850 SAN switches, released in 2001, were based on the third and fourth generation of Brocade ASICs called BLOOM and BLOOM-II.

The fifth generation of ASICs, called Condor and Goldeneye (scaled-down Condor), powered the SilkWorm 48/000 series of Directors and port blades, FR4-18i Extension Blade, and SilkWorm 200E/4100/4900/7500 series of switches respectively. These products were released into the market in 2004. The sixth generation of Brocade ASICs (designed in 2008) are called Condor 2 and Goldeneye 2. Condor 2 supports 40 ports of 8 Gbit/s per ASIC and Goldeneye 2 supports 32 ports of 8 Gbit/s.

These ASICs are used in the DCX Backbone Family of chassis and port blades, FS8-18 Encryption Blade, FX8-24 Extension Blade, and 300/5100/5300/7800/Encryption switches. The 7th generation of Brocade ASICs are Condor 3. Condor 3 supports 48 ports of 16 Gbit/s per ASIC. These ASICs are used in the DCX 8510 Backbone Family and port blades, and the 6505/6510/6520 switches. The initial 16 Gbit/s product line (DCX 8510-8, DCX 8510-4, 6510 48-port switch, and 1860 Fabric Adapter) was originally launched in 2011.

The 6505 24-port switch was launched in May 2012. The 6520 96-port switch was launched in March 2013. SAN products [ ] Brocade name Brocade switch type Max. Port data rate (Gbit/s) Max. Retrieved Nov 23, 2015. Retrieved 2016-11-02.
