How to save $314,163 on your next Brocade purchase<\/em><\/p>\n

I recently had the opportunity to help a new client upgrade their existing Brocade BR-DCX4S-0001 chassis by adding two 48 port expansion blades.\u00a0 From the Brocade product line, together these items are a mid-level appliance but still carry a hefty price tag when new.\u00a0 The chassis above has a list price of $59,687.\u00a0 The blades, BR-DCX-2148, which are a 48-port 8Gbps unit have a list price of $91,494.\u00a0 Our client was able to purchase the blades through us (qty 2) for a total of $39,500.\u00a0 That\u2019s the purchase price, not the discount.\u00a0 So that is $143,000 off from list.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one more scenario on a fully populated chassis:\u00a0 If a client were to purchase the fully configured BR-DCX4S-0001 with 4ea BR-DCX-2148, list price would be $425,663.\u00a0 Through Maximum Midrange, cost would be:\u00a0 $111,500.\u00a0 A savings of $314,163.\u00a0 \u00a0I tried to think of why someone would not make this purchase and came up with a few possible perceived concerns.\u00a0 I\u2019ll post these concerns and attempt to alleviate them in future blogs.
