Magic Quadrant for Enterprise LAN (Global) Publication Date: 10 June 2010

Brocade Brocade has depth of expertise across all data center networking technologies;

however, 2009 was a mixed year for the vendor. The first part of 2009 saw revenue performance exceed that of the market, though this was likely a rebound from a p g y

disappointing 2008, when Brocade's acquisition of Foundry took longer than expected. However, the last quarter of 2009 was disappointing, as revenue did not increase with the rest of the industry, and strong evidence of the integration of the classic Foundry

and Brocade offerings was limited. Brocade must establish itself as a key player within the complete data center networking marketplace in 2010the complete data center networking marketplace in 2010.

Strengths • A strong presence in corporate data centers and the collective assets of high-end LAN

switching Fibre Channel and FCoE technologies put Brocade in a solid technologyswitching, Fibre Channel and FCoE technologies put Brocade in a solid technology position.

• Customer support remains a strength, and Brocade's greater geographic reach and services capabilities have enhanced its capabilities during 2009.

• Converging server and storage solutions into a unified network continues to addConverging server and storage solutions into a unified network continues to add unique differentiation, and enhances the Brocade (Foundry) advanced data center

vision.

Cautions • Although Brocade is in the process of combining its enterprise LAN solutions into a few powerful offerings, it still has a confusing portfolio of products that make it difficult

for channels and partners to properly represent the product offering in the field. • Brocade needs to continue its 2009 investments to drive more of its business through

6/10/2010 5© 2010 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. CONFIDENTIAL— For Internal Use Only

an engaged channel partner program. • Its OEM WLAN strategy with Motorola is struck in late 2009 after changing its MeruNetworks relationship from OEM to reseller. Brocade needs to quickly eliminate any confusion in the market by documenting its strategy and developing differentiating

functionality as enterprises begin to look for a converged services rich access layer
