Commenting on Brocade's first quarter financial results, Michael Klayko, Brocade CEO, said:

"Brocade achieved another strong quarter in terms of revenues and better-than-expected operating margins. These results were fueled by a healthy mix of products and services, including IP networking solutions from our recently integrated Foundry business. In addition, with our combined product portfolio and roadmap, we believe Brocade is well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities in key, growing market segments within the networking industry."
