We Add Experts to Your Team
Reduce OEM maintenance overhead while gaining a dedicated partner that understands the vital role Brocade plays in your data center. At Extended Technical Solutions, our Level 3 engineers are deeply trained across Brocade and Broadcom environments, including high-performance DCX, 6510, 6505, and G-Series platforms. We act as a seamless extension of your internal IT team—ready to troubleshoot, repair, and optimize your Brocade fabric with technical precision.
Focus on Your Strategic Priorities
OEM renewal cycles and EOSL notices often trigger unnecessary downtime risks and forced capital spending. We solve the most common enterprise challenges:
- Eliminate Wasted Time: Avoid long OEM escalation queues that leave critical Fibre Channel fabrics exposed to performance degradation.
- Better Resource Allocation: Stop replacing healthy, functional switches just because a vendor stops supporting them; protect your capital budget and maintain operational stability.
ETS provides proactive parts staging and rapid field response, ensuring your team stays focused on innovation rather than vendor renewal hurdles.
Unbiased Recommendations
- Operational Integrity: Strategies built around your specific uptime requirements and budget.
- Transparent Sparing: Proven repair options and firmware roadmaps that extend service life without a hidden sales agenda.
“ETS cut our maintenance costs by over 60% and resolved issues faster than the OEM ever did. Having direct L3 access is a total game-changer for our infrastructure team.”
