Imdaad, a leading provider of integrated facilities, environment, and energy management solutions in the GCC, said it has implemented the ethernet fabric network switching solution from Brocade, a leading networking solutions provider, as an integral part of its service infrastructure across its sites in Dubai, UAE.

The company was in search for a hitech data centre that provides a fast, flexible, and scalable network with better connectivity within the organisation, according to a company statement.

Imdaad eventually decided to replace its system with the Brocade ICX 7750 network switch and introduced the company's VDX 6740 switch into its data centre to build a VCS Ethernet Fabric in order to future-proof its network capabilities.

Jamal Lootah, the chief executive of Imdaad, said: "We are proud to be at the forefront of the managed services industry and upgrading the service infrastructure will empower us to accomplish our growth plans."

"We wanted to partner with a market leader who can help us take one step ahead to achieve our goals and objectives and are confident of Brocade’s state-of-the-art and highly advanced multiple switch solution," he noted.
 
"We are upbeat that the Brocade Ethernet fabric network switching solution will provide the required agility, scalability and automation to our data centre, enabling the management and our employees to increase efficiency and focus more on the company’s strategic growth plans," he added.  

Carob Sanmina, the regional director, Brocade Middle East, said: "Imdaad has a strong vision for its company and was ready to upscale its network infrastructure. In its fifth generation, Brocade VCS Fabric technology is the leading fabric in enterprise data centres and a trusted solution for the company."

"Software-defined networking (SDN)-enabled and with native automation, VCS Fabric technology provides an ideal foundation for not only Imdaad’s future but also for the ‘New IP’ approach of open, innovation-focused and software-enabled networking," added Sanmina.-TradeArabia News Service
