Independent Brocade support after manufacturer EOSL.
SilkWorm 4xxx/5xxx and DCX backbones still attach the arrays after Brocade/Broadcom support ends. We replace supervisors, blades, and SFPs.
Directors (DCX, X6, X7) and fixed Fibre Channel switches are what we quote. EOSL SilkWorm is still in plants. IBM b-type and Dell Connectrix rebrands are the same hardware — send the serial.
This is the SAN. Ethernet ICX is under Ruckus if that is the badge on the switch.
32 listed models on this page. Current, last-gen, EOL, and EOSL. If a serial is not listed, send it.

FAQ
Questions about Brocade.
Do you cover Brocade hardware after the manufacturer ends support?
Yes. Include the serial with the quote request. If we cannot source the part, we will tell you before you sign.
Is Connectrix or IBM b-type the same as Brocade?
Often yes — OEM labels on Brocade silicon. Send the serial. We quote it on one contract.
Can EOSL hardware share a contract with current equipment?
Yes. You can mix service levels in the same room — 2-hour onsite on production, next-business-day on a lab system — including brands the manufacturer no longer lists.
Same-day quote
Request a Brocade quote.
Serials or an asset export. We return a scoped quote the same business day — including generations the manufacturer no longer supports.
