Brocade to Bundle IntelliMagic Software for Performance Management and Capability Planning

"The continued growth of disk and tape storage systems has made
managing them even more complex," said Hugues Meyrath, Vice President
and General Manager of the Brocade Services, Support, and Solutions
Division. "IntelliMagic’s analytic tools, coupled with Brocade’s skill
and expertise in the data center, will allow customers to gain
excellent value and knowledge on how to best utilize their storage
environments."

Now a part of the Brocade Storage Performance Solution offering,
IntelliMagic software tools for both tape and disk storage optimization
are used in conjunction with Brocade SAN HealthCheck and FICON
HealthCheck tools to track, analyze, and make architectural design
recommendations for greater storage networking optimization and future
build-out of IT infrastructure.

IntelliMagic’s predictive analytics and reporting capabilities
provide superior visibility into I/O performance. In particular, the
products monitor the usage of a storage system and predict bottlenecks
before they occur, avoiding I/O performance issues. Brocade customers
can use the software as part of the Brocade Storage Performance
engagement and have the option to purchase and continue using the
software tools for ongoing capacity planning.

"Large enterprise sites that require reliably fast access to
corporate data have in recent years been realizing the strategic
importance and power of having constant visibility and intelligence
about all aspects of their data storage infrastructure," said Dr.
Gilbert Houtekamer, CEO of IntelliMagic BV. "Brocade is a trusted
vendor in a majority of these types of customer sites worldwide, and
therefore they are the right partner to market and implement our
solutions, providing risk-reducing and money-saving performance and
sizing insight to our joint customers."
