Brocade

Brocade^® (Nasdaq:BRCD) and Blue Coat Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:BCSI) today announced the completion of interoperability testing of their Brocade ServerIron^® and Blue Coat^® ProxySG^® appliances for use with the upcoming release of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. This is the first application delivery technology to be tested for use with SharePoint 2010 and represents a best-in-class solution for secure, efficient remote application access and content management capabilities without straining network resources.

As organizations continue to expand globally and business applications become more network-intensive, greater numbers of enterprise customers will turn to SharePoint 2010 to deliver mission-critical applications to both in-network and distributed end users. Enterprise customers have stringent content management needs—such as access control, compliance reporting, and data security requirements—that are placing greater demands on network resources. The combination of the Brocade ServerIron and Blue Coat Proxy SG appliances provides a scalable path for optimizing application response times, increasing uptime, and enhancing user productivity. Furthermore, this solution is specifically designed to optimize CPU utilization, greatly improving network efficiency.

I was doing some research about Brocade and found this announcement, very interesting, anything that we can do to reduce the transaction time, to manage the end user perception of SharePoint has to be a good thing. SharePoint is increasingly becoming one of those tools which is becoming integral (if you have it) to your IT services, “.. put it on SharePoint..”,  I’m off to read up more.
