Brocade

Brocade supplied storage and IP networking hardware, best known for its Fibre Channel SAN switches and directors, and from 2008 also the BigIron, FastIron, NetIron and ICX Ethernet switching and routing families that came with its acquisition of Foundry Networks. Brocade platforms remain widely deployed across enterprise data centre, campus and service provider networks; the company was acquired by Broadcom in 2017, with the Ethernet lines subsequently changing hands again. Tech-Star supplies new and refurbished Brocade hardware, with original Foundry-era equipment catalogued under Foundry.
