I would recommend Brocade Ethernet Switches because they are easy to configure and have good technical support. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others. It has been working well in my organization. We have five people for the maintenance of the solution. I rate Brocade Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.
Prior to selecting Brocade Ethernet Switches, I recommend that you compare it with other solutions. There are great solutions in the market. Evaluate costs, reliability, and scalability, because once you choose a solution, they will be your partner for the next six to ten years. I would rate Brocade Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.
We are not using the latest version of the solution. These are old switches. Very old ones from ten years ago. If I was going to recommend any switches, I would recommend Cisco. This is due to the fact that I don't deal with modern switches from Brocade. That said, from how well the older switches have worked for me, I'd recommend the solution ten out of ten.
The VDX line of Brocade switches has been acquired by Extreme Networks and the ICX line has moved to another vendor. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I am okay with Cisco MDS switches as well as Brocade switches. I have also used Brocade switch in the old days when it was Dell EMC Clariion. I would recommend Brocade Ethernet Switches for using with HP solutions. I don't know how they work with other storage solutions. We are using this solution with HPE Primera, and it's working fine. It's very good. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I am supporting NVMe technology and it's a new technology, so I often struggle with performance issues. That is why I will rate this solution a nine out of ten only, and not a ten out of ten.
