Brocade Third-Party Maintenance & Support
Yes, we provide Brocade third-party maintenance: Brocade servers, storage, network and backup hardware supported independently of the OEM contract, including models past their end-of-service-life dates, at 40-70% below OEM renewal pricing. Coverage spans North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, with 24/7 engineers, spares held for every model we quote, and no OEM software contract required.
Hardware and software products from Brocade
- 24x7 support desk. Engineers on call around the clock, with a named escalation owner for every contract.
- 4-hour onsite in major metros. Four-hour onsite response available in major metro areas; next-business-day everywhere else we cover.
- Spares held for every model we quote. Global parts logistics with forward-stocked spares, so a replacement part is already on its way when you call.
- 5+ years past end of service life. We keep hardware supported long after the OEM date, on your retirement schedule rather than theirs.
- No OEM software contract required. Hardware coverage stands on its own. No VMware, Broadcom or other OEM software contract is needed to keep it.
- One contract for the whole rack. Servers, storage, network and backup appliances from any vendor on a single agreement and a single SLA.
- Monthly or multi-year, no lock-in. Month-to-month if you are bridging to a refresh, multi-year discounts if you are not. Cancel on notice.
- Indicative price in 24 hours, firm quote in 48. You get a price range the same business day and a signed quote within two.

Brocade Third-Party Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer third-party maintenance for Brocade hardware?
Yes. We maintain Brocade servers, storage, networking and backup hardware under our own contract, independent of Brocade. That includes models Brocade no longer supports.
Can you support Brocade equipment after its end of service life?
Yes. End of service life only ends the OEM's support; the equipment keeps working. We cover Brocade hardware for 5+ years past the EOSL date with 24/7 engineering support and forward-stocked spares.
How much does Brocade third-party maintenance cost?
Typically 40-70% below the Brocade renewal price, depending on quantity, service level and location. You get an indicative price within 24 hours and a firm quote within 48.
Where do you provide Brocade support?
Across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin America: 4-hour onsite response in major metro areas and next-business-day elsewhere, with 24/7 remote support everywhere.
