Founded in 1995 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. has global offices in 21 countries around the world. With over 3,700 employees, Brocade is a diverse company unified by a clear vision for continued market leadership.
Brocade pioneered and continues to lead the Storage Area Network (SAN) market, providing the industry’s most reliable, energy-efficient solutions for mission-critical storage applications, such as data backup, storage and server consolidation, and business continuance.  In 2008, Brocade enhanced its offerings by adding high-performance networking capabilities as part of a complete local, metro-, and wide-area switching, routing, security, and application traffic management portfolio.
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.
