3 Agenda IBM and Brocade a long & strong partnership Brocade IMT CEEMEA Organisation LAN Networking Basics IP Networks for DataCenter/Enterprise/Campus and SPs IBM DCN Products Summary The 10% you need to know

4 News Flash Friday, Dec. 19th 2008 Brocade acquires the performance leader in the Ethernet Industrie: Foundry Networks Tuesday, April 28th 2009 marks the return of IBM to the IP networking world for the first time since Brocade is delighted to be a key component of IBM's Data Center Networking announcement and the IBM Dynamic Infrastructure initiative.

5 2009 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise LAN (April 2009) Competitors /IBM Partner Brocade has maintained itself as a clear authority and innovator in the campus LAN networking market, segmenting itself from struggling vendors and positioned as one of the only viable alternatives to Cisco. Month ##, 200# Presentation Title

6 The DCN Hardware Opportunity in EMEA this year Service Providers Enterprise Networks Data Center Networks Server Storage Servers Servers Storage $4.1B $6.3B $1.6B $1.1B CEE/FCoE Additional addressable market tomorrow for IBM Servers w/ CNAs Today

7 Why Choose IBM DCN for Networking? The Four P s - Performance Wire speed, non-blocking performance 10 Gbps today 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps ready for tomorrow! - Port Density Greater density per chassis means smaller footprint, fewer management points, and the ability to deploy more assets - Power Green solution supports Smarter Planet Lower power consumption means better ability to deploy other assets and applications against shrinking power budgets Reduces Operational Expenses (OpEx) for power and cooling - Price Solutions that are less expensive to deploy versus conventional vendors Reduces Capital Expenses (CapEx) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

17 Amsterdam Internet Exchange The Environment: Non-blocking professional peering services for all types of IP traffic, including voice, data, video Connecting IP networks for > 280 ISPs through more than 475 ports Mobile Peering Points: Global GPRS Roaming Exchange (GRX) and Mobile Data Exchange (MDX) The Solution: NetIron MLX 32 metro routing and switching platform for a 3.2 Tbps plus data capacity (315 Gbps average, 660 Gbps peak in 2008) Brocade BigIron RX GbE switches in a double-star topology in each of 4 AMS-IX colocation centers sflow technology in the Brocade devices captures network traffic statistics Up to GbE ports & 16x10 GbE link aggregates The Challenge: More than 350 Gbps (Oct 2007) used capacity Increasing number of customers require more than 8 parallel 10 GbE connections Projected traffic growth rate of >100% p.a. Huge bandwidth demands placed upon network Scalability, network management and reliability Support AMS-IX s HA requirements with redun-dant, hot-pluggable hardware, hitless software upgrades, and graceful BGB and OSPF restart The Benefits: Advanced routing and MPLS services for a wide range of applications Support members beyond the 300 Gbps milestone Members can upgrade bandwidth connections easily and quickly to accommodate traffic increases AMS-IX can pass on massive cost savings to customers HW resiliency and hitless SW upgrade- and failover- capabilities are the foundation for growth of AMS-IX s expanding peering portfolio 17
