Brocade announced that it has been selected to showcase and demonstrate its datacentre solutions at Microsoft Technology Centres (MTCs) worldwide. MTCs provide enterprise customers with the opportunity to evaluate technology solutions from Microsoft and other vendors before deploying the solutions in their own environments.

According to Jens Moberg, corporate vice president of the U.S. Enterprise Partner Group, Microsoft, “By hosting Brocade products in our datacentres, the Microsoft Technology Centres enable our customers to evaluate solutions based on Brocade and Microsoft technologies as they make preparations to evolve and build out their next-generation datacentres.”

MTCs provide three types of offerings – strategy briefings, architecture design sessions, and proof-of-concept workshops – each of which focuses on a different stage of a customer’s search for a solution.

“The Microsoft Technology Centres provide Brocade a valuable opportunity to demonstrate how datacentres will evolve in customised, real-world environments,” said Tom Buiocchi, Brocade VP of Worldwide Marketing.
