Pros
Brocade does some interesting work in a field with cut-throat competition...it's a miracle the company has survived this long. Brocade is good at utilizing commodity OTS SW (linux and so on) and specializing it for various products.
Cons
Uncertain future, plus the options backdating scandal really tarnished the stock. Too buzzword intensive...plus the marketing dept. uses questionable tactics...we should really be differentiating ourselves on our products, not badmouthing the competition.
