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.
