McData directors and switches provide the building blocks for sophisticated storage area networks.

McData Corporation was the leading provider of enterprise class storage networking infrastructure products. It's estimated that McData sold almost 10,000 directors from 2001 through 2007. McData solutions mobilized data allowing enterprises to put it to work for their business. It also enabled companies to consolidate and optimize their data environments and protect the data at the heart of their networks.

In 2007, McData Corp. was acquired by Brocade Corp.  Since then, many McData products have been designated end of life; have been designated end of support and have been discontinued from maintenance by Brocade. KCI, Inc. is pleased to support and maintain all legacy McData products ever made at 35 - 60% below manufacturer's rates.
