A quick and dirty sales analysis of Brocade's latest S-1A filing reveals the following:

Latest 6 months sales = $18.5 million ( as of April 30/99 )

Sequent = 31% of 1999 first half revenues = $5.8 million

McData = 25% of 1999 first half revenues = $4.6 million

Data General ( Clariion ) = 15% = $2.8 million

Top 3 accounts = 74% of Brocade total sales

All Other accounts = $5.3 million ( STK, CPQ, DELL, Seimens, CMNT,NTAP,etc..)

Sequent sales appear to have slowed by more than -50% vs YA, while other accounts are picking up the slack. How much of this sales ramp is filling the channel ( as opposed to switches ending up in actual installations/end users ) remains to be seen. Brocade appears to be on a $40 million annual run rate. This bodes very well for the reception to the upcoming BRCD IPO.
