Brocade Third-Party Support

With Extended Technical Solutions, you can maintain your Brocade Fibre Channel switches and directors long past OEM warranty or end-of-service life—without sacrificing reliability or performance. Brocade third-party maintenance helps your organization cut costs, extend hardware lifespan, and keep critical SAN environments running smoothly with expert-level support. Here’s how:

We Add Experts to Your Team

At Extended Technical Solutions, we understand the vital role Brocade SAN infrastructure plays in your data center. Our Level 3 engineers are trained across Brocade and Broadcom environments, including DCX, 6510, 6505, and G-Series platforms. With direct access to our specialists, you get experienced professionals who act as an extension of your internal IT team—ready to troubleshoot, repair, and optimize your Brocade fabric with precision.

Focus on Your Priorities

OEM renewals and EOSL notices often force unnecessary upgrades and downtime risk. The most common challenges we solve include:

  • Wasted Time: OEM escalation queues can slow recovery, leaving critical Fibre Channel fabrics exposed to performance issues.

  • Resource Misallocation: End-of-life pressures often push teams to replace healthy switches instead of maintaining them—draining capital budgets and disrupting stability.

ETS delivers flexible SLAs, proactive parts stocking, and fast field response for your Brocade switches and directors, so your IT resources stay focused on growth, not vendor renewal cycles.

Unbiased Recommendations

When depending solely on OEM contracts, every outage conversation tends to end with a refresh proposal. If a director encounters a fault, the recommendation is usually to buy new hardware—whether or not that’s the best option.

ETS takes a vendor-neutral approach built around your uptime, budget, and operational needs. We provide transparent sparing strategies, firmware roadmaps, and proven repair options that extend the service life of your Brocade infrastructure—without the OEM sales agenda.

Empower your team with reliable Brocade support that protects uptime and eliminates unnecessary refresh spending.
