Founded in 1995, and headquartered in San Jose, California, Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. has a presence in 14 countries and regional sales centers around the world. With over 1,000 employees, Brocade is a diverse company unified by a clear vision for continued market leadership.

Brocade Storage Area Networks (SANs) provide open and secure environments for mission-critical storage applications, such as data backup, storage and server consolidation and business continuance.

Brocade offers the industry’s leading intelligent platform for networking storage. The Brocade SilkWorm family of fabric switches and software optimize data availability, storage, as well as server and personnel resources in the enterprise.

By deploying this technology, customers can connect servers with storage devices through a SAN and create highly reliable, manageable, scalable and secure environments.

ViON’s successful relationship with Brocade began in 1998, as the network concept emerged within the storage business. Today, ViON holds Brocade’s federal GSA price schedule, and together, we enjoy a strong presence in the federal, state, and local government marketplaces.

ViON anticipates an increasing demand for this type of technology as our government accounts nationwide make the anticipated switch from direct-attached to storage-area networks.
