Brocade Network Subscription provides a new way for organizations to acquire network infrastructure and align network capacity with their changing business needs.

They can now acquire a fully supported cloud-optimized network infrastructure on their terms, without upfront capital investment. Instead, they pay monthly for the network infrastructure they utilize.

Brocade Network Subscription does not require multi-year lease commitments, and risk is minimal since organizations have the flexibility to expand, contract, or refresh their network infrastructure as required. As a result, they now have a network acquisition model that provides the same level of flexibility as a cloud-based business model.

Cost/Revenue Alignment

Brocade Network Subscription enables cloud, hosting, and other managed service providers to deliver new services over cloud-optimized network infrastructures by aligning network infrastructure costs with revenue—streamlining time to profitability.

No Capital Investment

Brocade Network Subscription helps organizations acquire network infrastructure without upfront capital investment, so they can invest in scaling their business instead of their network infrastructure.

No Multi-Year Lease Requirement

Brocade Network Subscription is a "pay-as-you-go" approach that increases financial flexibility by eliminating term commitments and lease obligations.

Enterprise Financial Ratio Stability

Brocade Network Subscription is an off-balance sheet transaction that enables debt-heavy enterprises to refresh networks without impacting credit ratings and key business performance ratios, such as ROA and ROIC.

Lean IT Initiatives

Brocade Network Subscription helps organizations address "Lean IT" initiatives by allowing them to utilize operating budget instead of capital budget to acquire network infrastructure, reducing over-provisioning waste.

Direct Support

Brocade Network Subscription includes Brocade Direct Support, which provides different levels of support to meet specific needs, scale with growing environments, and help ensure maximum data reliability.
