Brocade® has announced End-of-Life (EOL) for its Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM)

In case you missed our previous post, Brocade^® has announced End-of-Life (EOL) for its proprietary Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) software management product (Brocade^® DCFM EOL Notice). Brocade^® suggests that customers move to the Brocade^® Network Advisor (BNA), its next generation management product, which will simplify daily operations while improving performance and reliability (Brocade^® Network Advisor Datasheet). Users of DCFM should not be concerned – it will be supported by Brocade^® until March 28, 2018 and TeamKCI will provide trouble shooting support for at least five years after the 2018 date.
