Brocade revenue up 55 percent

Brocade revenue up 55 percent


But profit down due to one-off gain last quarter, says the company

Brocade's revenue grew 55 percent to $348m (£177m) in the first quater, but profit fell to $20m (£10m), 38 per cent down on the previous three months.

The storage specialist blames a one-off gain of $11m (£5.6m) in the last quarter of last year for distorting the income figures.

The company made record sales of its SAN director and blade server products and has just launched a new line of advanced data centre networking products.
