Brocade Hardware Maintenance
Support for Brocade Fibre Channel SAN directors and switches — the storage fabric layer that quietly underpins everything else.
Support for Brocade Fibre Channel SAN directors and switches — the storage fabric layer that quietly underpins everything else.
Brocade FC switching is among the most stable hardware in any data center, and among the most disruptive to replace. That combination makes it a strong candidate for extended support.
Current and long-retired platforms alike, under a single coterminous agreement. Don't see your model? It's very likely covered — just ask.

Straight talk on where independent support genuinely helps — and where it doesn't.
Replacing a SAN director means a maintenance window that touches every attached host and array. Extending the existing fabric under support avoids that entirely.
Brocade FC assets now sit under Broadcom, and were also OEM'd extensively by HPE, Dell, and IBM under their own part numbers. We cover them under any badge.
SFPs and port blades are where the failures are. We stock across speeds from 4G through 32G including discontinued modules.
US-based L3–L4 engineers, not a tier-one script.
Parts staged against your configuration — including components the OEM no longer stocks.
One named person who knows your environment and owns your SLA.
Brocade alongside every other vendor, on a single renewal date.
Three SLA tiers — 24×7×4hr, 24×7×NBD, or 8×5×NBD. Compare options →
Most environments run four or five vendors. Consolidating removes a great deal of administrative overhead.
Send your model list or serial numbers and we'll return a line-by-line comparison against your current renewal within 24 hours.
