Our organization has almost all of the financial institutions in Puerto Rico connected simultaneously to our system. We have a firewall first, and then the Brocade system. All of our switches are layer three, Ethernet solutions, and fiber optic uplink. One of the switches I was using as a mediator between our on-premises solution and DNC. Brocade was the one mediator along with Fortinet. There are approximately 500 users of the solution inside our organization in different roles and 1500 individuals outside connecting. Brocade requires two engineers, one from our site and one from the vendor's site, to deploy and maintain the solution.

I'm primarily using the solution as black and gray switches. I'm not using them as a configured switch. We are using it to extend some networks. Our old Brocade switches are used for extending our network and are especially used as an extension for urgent matters.

We use Brocade switches for our LAN and for our SAN.

It's actually a DC device. We are using storage in DC as well as in DR. Because we are a government organization, everything is on-premises.

Ethernet Switches
What is an Ethernet switch? An Ethernet switch connects devices like computers, laptops, servers, and printers to a local area network (LAN) and to each other. The switch then functions as a central connecting station. You can boost the Ethernet’s capacity by wiring switches to each other. Unlike routers, Ethernet switches use multiple ports to enable devices in the LAN. Unmanaged switches are a type of plug-in switch that will work when connected, without the need to configure them...
