KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (4 February 2014) Brocade (NASDAQ: BRCD) today announced that it has received the prestigious J.D. Power Certified Technology Service and Support (CTSS) Program award. The J.D.

Jointly developed by J.D. Power and the Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA), the CTSS program sets a new standard for excellence in service and support addressing the critical challenges that service organizations face in today’s highly competitive market.
Many enterprises are looking at deploying Software-Defined Networks (SDN) by 2015 — to increase productivity, deliver better access to real-time information and improve availability/service delivery, and half intend to invest in fabric-based networks in the next 12 months.
