» CNT
Computer Network Technology Corporation (CNT) designed, manufactured and supported a wide range of remote storage networking applications for data replication, tape vaulting, check sorting and printing.  In January 2005 McData Corp. acquired CNT and then on January 31 2007, McData Corp. itself was acquired by Brocade Corp.  Today the CNT legacy still lives on at Brocade with the UltraNet Storage Director-eXtended (USDX) and Edge 3000 channel extender product lines that are updated versions of highly successful CNT products.
KCI, Inc. supports and maintains all legacy channel extenders originally manufactured by CNT and its successors - Brocade and McData - and provides "Change Management Services" (CMS) for these products by reconfiguring your channel extension network based on enterprise system configuration changes.
