Aims to Kick-Start Middle East SDN Market
Much before wide scale adoption of SDN becomes a reality in the ME, Brocade is currently offering a free one-year license on its Brocade Vyatta Controller. While the license is restricted to the management of five physical or virtual network nodes in a non-production environment, it includes 60 days of free access to Brocade’s 24×7 technical support.
Yarob Sakhnini, regional director, MEMA at Brocade says that in line with Brocade’s commitment to open standards based development, this golden opportunity is available to all customers rather than being restricted to only those with certain infrastructures. Despite its many benefits, SDN is not a widely understood concept in this region and roll-out has been slow. We hope to change this by offering a world-class solution bundled with world-class support,” The company also offers Brocade Certified Education to drive adoption and application development, and Brocade Professional Services to assist with SDN implementation and development efforts.
