こちらは Company's Vision

"Brocade Unveils Vision for the Virtual Enterprise"
 05/03/2011
  http://newsroom.brocade.com/easyir/customrel.do?easyirid=74A6E71C169DEDA9&version=live&prid=750962&releasejsp=custom_184

  "today introduced a new technology architecture that outlines the
   company's vision and the technology investments it will make to help
   its customers evolve their data centers and IT resources and migrate
   them to the "Virtual Enterprise."

   Brocade intends to deliver on this vision through the Brocade CloudPlex
   architecture, an open, extensible framework intended to enable
   customers to build the next generation of distributed and virtualized
   data centers in a simple, evolutionary way that preserves their ability
   to dictate all aspects of the migration. What is unique about the
   Brocade Cloudplex architecture is that it is both the foundation for
   integrated compute blocks, but it also embraces a customer's existing
   multi-vendor infrastructure to unify all of their assets into a single
   compute and storage domain."
