MRV Communications TM, Inc. (OTCQB: MRVC) ("MRV®"), a leading provider of innovative packet and optical solutions, today announced that it has successfully completed Brocade's Data Center Ready interoperability testing process for its OptiDriver TM and Fiber Driver® high-density optical transport platforms. As certified Brocade "Data Center Ready" solutions, OptiDriver TM and Fiber Driver® platforms provide customers with the highest level of confidence that the platforms will seamlessly integrate within Brocade Storage Area Network (SAN) environments.

For data center operators, storage interconnection over long distances is increasingly critical for high-quality service delivery. Popular high-bandwidth services such as streaming video, cloud computing and business continuity applications require local copies of critical data. Ensuring reliable and secure backups of this data via synchronous or asynchronous replication is vital. MRV's OptiDriver TM and Fiber Driver® platforms allow network administrators to more easily build resilient and efficient data center interconnects that can handle the capacity, security and availability requirements of a next-generation storage network. MRV's solutions offer the industry's highest density and smallest form factor and support Fibre Channel, Ethernet and other protocols for increased flexibility and simplicity. As a result, CDN providers, cloud computing providers and Internet exchanges are better prepared to support significant deployment densities for data center applications.

"In the data center, efficiency in space, power and management is a high priority. This new certification ensures that our customers will receive the high-density optical transport efficiencies that they have come to expect from MRV's OptiDriver TM and Fiber Driver® solutions. Our customers have peace-of-mind knowing that these platforms will seamlessly integrate into their Brocade-based SAN networks," said Tim Pillow, senior vice president of global sales and marketing for MRV Communications. "Network administrators will spend less time integrating and managing their multi-vendor networks, freeing them to focus resources on more important business goals."
