The Brocade SAM will receive these alerts and work with customers to address potential problems.

7 Q. What is an annual health check? A. Brocade offers annual Brocade SAN Health and Brocade NET Health checks for efficient networking infrastructure operations. The Brocade SAM coordinates the annual health check, working with Brocade experts to collect and analyze critical operational data, such as logical and physical topologies, device inventory, zoning bandwidth utilization, and monitoring capabilities. The Services Add-on Menu Q. What is the Services Add-On Menu? A. Customers have their own unique requirements when it comes the type of support they need and how they receive it. To better cater to all types of customer environments, the Brocade Support portfolio now includes an add-on menu of features to supplement base support contracts. Customers with Premier Support from Brocade receive the benefits of proactive and preferential support firsthand. The Services Add-On Menu builds on these same principles to provide additional flexibility with a set of features that reduce downtime and augment customer environments. Below is a table that includes all the current items on the Services Add-On Menu: Services Add-On Menu Item Description Fast Pass to Expertise* U.S. Citizen TAC* Access to expert-level Brocade TAC engineer Access to U.S. citizen-only TAC engineers Designated Business TAC* Professional Services by Day Access to TAC engineers specialized in business segment Professional Services in daily increments Testing as a Service (TaaS) Brocade performs a network augmentation POC Network Monitoring Service (NMS) Remote Troubleshooting, Fault Management, Proactive Monitoring, and Advanced Analytics Secure Service Receive replacement products without having to return defective devices Onsite Support Engineer (OSE) Access to a full-time OSE 7

8 Q. What is Fast Pass to Expertise? A. Brocade understands that many of its Premier customers work tirelessly on troubleshooting issues prior to contacting Brocade. This offer is available to help customers who call in with critical cases after extensive troubleshooting internally. Fast Pass to Expertise provides customers with Severity Level 1 and Severity Level 2 cases faster access to the most experienced engineers at Brocade. Customers with this service should call the TAC as they normally would with a Severity Level 1 and Severity Level 2 case. Once it has been confirmed that the case is critical and the customer has done the necessary troubleshooting on their end, the customer will be immediately routed to an expert-level engineer who will then drive the case to resolution. After the case is flagged as a Fast Pass, all future calls with that serial number will get routed directly to an expert. Q. What is U.S. Citizen TAC? A. As security requirements expand and become more stringent, Brocade provides the support offerings to meet them, including a targeted support offering for customers that require U.S.-citizen support only. The U.S. Citizen TAC offering is available to US Federal customers that can only be assisted by Brocade TAC engineers who are U.S. citizens. Customers with this service that call into Brocade will be routed to a designated TAC staffed with U.S. citizens only. Q. What is Designated Business TAC? A. Brocade knows that many of its support customers come from similar industries and leverage many of the same Brocade product solutions. Due to these similarities, Brocade has created specialized groups in TAC to identify, support, and resolve issues faster. Access to these designated TACs is available 24 7 around the world. One designation is for service provider customers. When service provider customers call into the TAC, their issues are handled by a group of TAC engineers that are specifically trained on service provider environments. This helps solve cases quicker and route customers to the appropriate engineer more efficiently. Q. What is Professional Services by Day? A. Professional Services by Day is an allowance of days that grants customers access to Brocade Professional Services whenever they want. The timing of change activities or implementations can be unpredictable, and a reserve of Professional Services days helps ensure that Brocade services will be there when needed. Customers that purchase Professional Services by Day can use it for a variety of onsite or remote services including implementations, configurations, and health check activities related to Brocade SAN or IP hardware and software products. Professional Services by Day is limited to one working week consisting of five (5) consecutive days of service assistance. Brocade requires an initial planning meeting with the customer to understand and document specific customer requirements and confirm the scope of work. Scheduling Professional Services by Day must be requested at least ten (10) business days prior to any Brocade resources being assigned. A full list of the Professional Services available and additional terms and conditions can be found in the Professional Services by Day Statement of Work. 8

9 Q. What is Testing as a Service (TaaS)? A. Testing as a Service (TaaS) provides proactive services from Brocade to help customers augment and enhance their environments. Similar to a Proof of Concept (POC) this service from Brocade will provide customers with confidence that customer-defined configurations and deployments have been thoroughly tested prior to implementation. Also included in TaaS is stress testing and code reviews to confirm that customers networks meet Brocade best practices. Q. What is Network Monitoring Service? A. Brocade Network Monitoring Service (NMS) is available to all Brocade customers and consists of four core components designed to maximize network availability and performance: Automated Fault Management: One-way SNMP trap for forwarding and filtering that enables Brocade to view and proactively respond to issues. Proactive Device Monitoring: Two-way SNMP polling that ensures connectivity or environment threshold exceptions. Remote Troubleshooting: Remote access through Secure Shell that accelerates diagnostic data collection, reducing the burden of capturing and sending diagnostic data to Brocade. Advanced Analytics: A real-time dashboard accessible through MyBrocade provides visibility and the insight required to be proactive, predictive, and transparent in network management. Q. Why is Advance Analytics sold separately and only to Premier Customers? A. Part of Premier Support is Premier Monitoring, which includes three of the four NMS features: Automated Fault Management, Proactive Device Monitoring, and Remote Troubleshooting. Premier Customers that want the Advanced Analytics feature can buy it as an add-on to get the equivalent of the full NMS offering. Q. What is Secure Service? A. Brocade offers a Secure Service option for customers with secure environments. Secure Service is an add-on to the existing support contract, which allows customers to receive replacement products without requiring the return of the defective product. Customers are responsible for destroying the existing hardware and providing proof of destruction documentation. Hardware delivery times are in accordance with the contract Service Level Agreement. Q. What is an Onsite Support Engineer (OSE)? A. In today s business climate, IT organizations with growing and complex networking infrastructures often find themselves short on time and resources making it difficult to meet the needs of the business while performing daily support and management activities. As increasing headcount is not always an option, this service includes a Brocade Onsite Support Engineer (OSE), in addition to the services of a Premier Support agreement. Brocade OSEs work side by side with a customer s IT staff, providing onsite technical expertise to keep Brocade Storage Area Network (SAN) and IP networking environments running smoothly. Brocade OSEs are senior technical professionals who have in-depth expertise and certifications in Brocade hardware and software products. As focused support contacts for all Brocade solutions, Brocade OSEs facilitate communication and provide proactive coordination of problem escalation and change activities, accelerating resolution, and improving operational efficiency. These engineers have access to vast Brocade resources and can leverage strategic Brocade partnerships to quickly troubleshoot and resolve issues in complex environments. 9
