Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Basis Of Presentation [Abstract] | |
Basis Of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. ("Brocade" or the "Company") has prepared the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of January 28, 2012 and for the three months ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The October 29, 2011 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 29, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of January 28, 2012, results of operations for the three months ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, and cash flows for the three months ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended January 28, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. The Company's fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks ending on the last Saturday in October. Fiscal year 2012 is a 52- week fiscal year, and the first quarter of 2012 was a 13-week quarter. Fiscal year 2011 was a 52-week year, and fiscal quarter of 2011 was a 13-week quarter. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Brocade and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates in Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, sales allowances and programs, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, purchase price allocations, warranty obligations, inventory valuation and purchase commitments, restructuring costs, commissions, facilities lease losses, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, litigation, income taxes and investments. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies for the three months ended January 28, 2012 as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Brocade's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 29, 2011. Recent Accounting Pronouncements There have been no accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended January 28, 2012 that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosure requirements. Concentrations Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are primarily maintained at five major financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may be redeemed upon demand and may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. A majority of the Company's accounts receivable balance is derived from sales to original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") partners in the computer storage and server industry. As of January 28, 2012, two customers accounted for 15% and 11%, respectively, of total accounts receivable, for a combined total of 26% of total accounts receivable. As of October 29, 2011, two customers accounted for 16% and 14%, respectively, of total accounts receivable, for a combined total of 30% of total accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable balances. The Company has established reserves for credit losses, sales allowances, and other allowances. For the three months ended January 28, 2012, three customers accounted for 20%, 15% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's total net revenues for a combined total of 48% of total net revenues. For the three months ended January 29, 2011, three customers accounted for 18%, 17% and 12%, respectively, of the Company's total net revenues for a combined total of 47% of total net revenues.
The Company currently relies on single and limited sources for multiple key components used in the manufacture of its products. Additionally, the Company relies on multiple contract manufacturers ("CMs") for the production of its products. Although the Company uses standard parts and components for its products where possible, the Company's CMs currently purchase, on the Company's behalf, several key components used in the manufacture of products from single or limited supplier sources.

Fair Value Measurements | 5. Fair Value Measurements The Company applies fair value measurements for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company has no nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 28, 2012. The Company did not elect to measure any eligible financial instruments at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Fair Value Hierarchy The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 28, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):
Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 29, 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

Borrowings | 7. Borrowings The following table provides details of the Company's long-term debt (in thousands):
Senior Secured Notes In January 2010, the Company issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes") and $300 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes" and together with the 2018 Notes, the "Senior Secured Notes"). The senior secured notes bear interest payable semi-annually. No payments were made towards the principal of the senior secured notes during the three months ended January 28, 2012. As of January 28, 2012 and October 29, 2011, the fair value of the Company's senior secured notes was approximately $645 million and $626 million, respectively, estimated based on broker trading prices. On or after January, 2013, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 2018 Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture governing the 2018 Notes (the 2018 Indenture), plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to January, 2013, the Company may, on one or more than one occasion, redeem some or all of the 2018 Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes redeemed, plus a "make-whole" premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. On or after January, 2015, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 2020 Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture governing the 2020 Notes (the 2020 Indenture), plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to January, 2015, the Company may, on one or more than one occasion, redeem some or all of the 2020 Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes redeemed, plus a "make-whole" premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. At any time prior to January, 2013, the Company may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes, using the proceeds of certain qualified equity offerings, at the redemption prices set forth in the 2018 Indenture and the 2020 Indenture, respectively. If the Company experiences specified change of control triggering events, it must offer to repurchase the senior secured notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the senior secured notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the applicable repurchase date. If the Company or its subsidiaries sell assets under certain specified circumstances, the Company must offer to repurchase the senior secured notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior secured notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the applicable repurchase date. Senior Secured Credit Facility In October, 2008, the Company entered into a credit facility agreement for (i) a five-year $1,100 million term loan facility and (ii) a five-year $125 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $25 million swing line loan sub-facility and a $25 million letter of credit sub-facility. The credit facility agreement was subsequently amended in January, 2010 and June, 2011. The Company may draw additional proceeds from the revolving credit facility in the future for ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes. The term loan facility and revolving credit facility are referred to together as the "Senior Secured Credit Facility." There were no principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of January 28, 2012 and October 29, 2011. During the three months ended January 28, 2012, the Company paid $70 million towards the principal of the term loan, $62 million of which were voluntary prepayments. The Company believes that the carrying value of its Senior Secured Credit Facility approximates its fair value as the interest rate is based on a floating market rate. Debt Maturities

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Commitments And Contingencies | 8. Commitments and Contingencies Product Warranties The Company's accrued liability for estimated future warranty costs is included in "Other accrued liabilities" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's accrued liability for estimated future warranty costs during the three months ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011 (in thousands):
In addition, the Company has standard indemnification clauses contained within its various customer contracts. As such, the Company indemnifies the parties to whom it sells its products with respect to the Company's product, alone or potentially in combination with others, infringing upon any patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets, as well as against bodily injury or damage to real or tangible personal property caused by a defective Company product. As of January 28, 2012, there have been no known material events or circumstances that have resulted in a customer contract-related indemnification liability to the Company. Manufacturing and Purchase Commitments Brocade has manufacturing arrangements with CMs under which Brocade provides twelve-month product forecasts and places purchase orders in advance of the scheduled delivery of products to Brocade's customers. The required lead time for placing orders with the CMs depends on the specific product. Brocade issues purchase orders and the CMs then generate invoices based on prices and payment terms mutually agreed upon and set forth in those purchase orders. Although the purchase orders Brocade places with its CMs are cancellable, the terms of the agreements require Brocade to purchase all inventory components not returnable, usable by, or sold to other customers of the CMs. As of January 28, 2012, the Company's aggregate commitment to the CMs for inventory components used in the manufacture of Brocade products was $237.5 million, which the Company expects to utilize during future normal ongoing operations, net of a purchase commitments reserve of $5.4 million. The Company's purchase commitments reserve reflects the Company's estimate of purchase commitments it does not expect to consume in normal ongoing operations within the next twelve months. Income Taxes The Company has several ongoing income tax audits. For additional discussions, see Note 11, "Income Taxes," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes it has adequate reserves for all open tax years. Legal Proceedings Initial Public Offering Litigation On July 20, 2001, the first of a number of putative class actions for violations of the federal securities laws was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Brocade, certain of its officers and directors, and certain of the underwriters for Brocade's initial public offering ("IPO") of securities. A consolidated amended class action captioned, In re Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01 Civ. 6613, was filed on April 19, 2002. The complaint generally alleged that various underwriters engaged in improper and undisclosed activities related to the allocation of shares in Brocade's initial public offering and seeks unspecified damages for claims under the Exchange Act on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of common stock from May 24, 1999 to December 6, 2000. The lawsuit against Brocade was coordinated for pretrial proceedings with a number of other pending litigations challenging underwriter practices in over 300 cases as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS), including actions against McDATA Corporation ("McDATA"), Inrange Technologies Corporation ("Inrange") (which was first acquired by Computer Network Technology Corporation ("CNT") and subsequently acquired by McDATA as part of the CNT acquisition), and Foundry Networks LLC (formerly Foundry Networks, Inc.) ("Foundry," and collectively, the "Brocade Entities"), and certain of each entity's respective officers and directors, and initial public offering underwriters. These actions have been resolved by a global settlement of the coordinated litigation in January 2012, under which the insurers pay the full amount of settlement share allocated to the Brocade Entities, and the Brocade Entities bear no financial liability. Intellectual Property Litigation On June 21, 2005, Enterasys Networks, Inc. ("Enterasys") filed a lawsuit against Foundry (and Extreme Networks, Inc.) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that certain of Foundry's products infringe six of Enterasys' patents and seeking injunctive relief, as well as unspecified damages. Enterasys subsequently added Brocade as a defendant. On August 28, 2007, the Court granted Foundry's motion to stay the case based on petitions that Foundry had filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") in 2007 for reexamination of five of the six Enterasys patents. Two of the patents received final rejections during their respective reexaminations, in which the USPTO held that the claims were invalid. Enterasys filed appeals of those rejections with the USPTO's Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences in 2009. The Board partially affirmed and partially reversed one of those rejections on January 24, 2011, and Enterasys did not appeal further, which ended the proceedings on those two patents. The USPTO has issued reexamination certificates for the remaining three patents undergoing reexamination indicating that the patents were valid over the submitted references. Meanwhile, on May 21, 2010, the Court lifted the stay of the litigation, and Enterasys subsequently dropped from the litigation the two patents it appealed at the USPTO. Accordingly, four patents remain at issue in the litigation. No trial date has been set. On September 6, 2006, Chrimar Systems, Inc. ("Chrimar") filed a lawsuit against Foundry (and D-Link Corporation and PowerDsine, Ltd.) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan alleging that certain of Foundry's products infringe Chrimar's U.S. Patent 5,406,260 and seeking injunctive relief, as well as unspecified damages. Discovery has been completed. No trial date has been set. On August 4, 2010, Brocade and Foundry ("Plaintiffs") filed a lawsuit against A10 Networks, Inc. ("A10"), A10's founder and other individuals in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On October 29, 2010, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In the amended complaint, Brocade alleged that A10 and the individual defendants have misappropriated Plaintiff's trade secrets, infringed copyrighted works, interfered with existing contracts between the Plaintiffs and their employees, breached contracts, breached their fiduciary duties and duties of loyalty, and that certain of A10's products infringe 13 of Brocade's patents. Brocade is seeking injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. On May 16, 2011, A10 filed an answer and counterclaim alleging that certain of Brocade's products infringe a patent recently acquired by A10 and seeking injunctive relief, as well as unspecified damages. On January 6, 2012 the Court granted Brocade's summary judgment motion of non-infringement of the A10 patent. Trial is scheduled for July 16, 2012.
On September 9, 2011, A10 filed a lawsuit against Brocade in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. A10 alleges that certain of Brocade's products infringe two additional patents acquired by A10. After Brocade moved to dismiss the complaint, A10 dismissed one of its patents-in-suit. Brocade has filed a new motion to dismiss the sole remaining A10 patent. Trial is scheduled for May 2013. General From time to time, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of trademarks, copyrights, patents and/or other intellectual property rights and commercial contract disputes. Third parties assert patent infringement claims against the Company from time to time in the form of letters, lawsuits and other forms of communication. In addition, from time to time, the Company receives notification from customers claiming that they are entitled to indemnification or other obligations from the Company related to infringement claims made against them by third parties. Litigation, even if the Company is ultimately successful, can be costly and divert management's attention away from the day-to-day operations of the Company. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation contingencies and updates its accruals, disclosures and, when possible, estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and outcomes are typically uncertain, and the Company's past experience does not provide any additional visibility or predictability to estimate the range of loss that may occur because the costs, outcome and status of these types of claims and proceedings have varied significantly in the past. The Company is not currently able to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss from the above legal proceedings and, accordingly, the Company is unable to estimate the effects of the above on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. |

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities | 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and the exchange rates associated with foreign currencies. The Company's primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company currently does not enter into derivative instruments to manage credit risk. However, the Company manages its exposure to credit risk through its investment policies. The Company generally enters into derivative transactions with high-credit quality counterparties and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one counterparty based on its analysis of that counterparty's relative credit standing. The amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which counterparty's obligations exceed the Company's obligations with that counterparty. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk A majority of the Company's revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities is transacted in U.S. dollars. However, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in conducting business globally in numerous currencies, of which the most significant to its operations for the three months ended January 28, 2012 were the Chinese yuan, the euro, the Japanese yen, the Indian rupee, the British pound, the Singapore dollar and the Swiss franc. The Company is primarily exposed to foreign currency fluctuations related to operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company has established a foreign currency risk management program to protect against fluctuations in the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This program reduces, but does not always entirely eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. The Company's foreign currency risk management program includes foreign currency derivatives with cash flow hedge accounting designation that utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposures to the variability in the U.S. dollar equivalent of anticipated non-U.S. dollar-denominated cash flows. These instruments generally have a maturity of less than one year. For these derivatives, the Company reports the after-tax gain or loss from the effective portion of the hedge as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity and reclassifies it into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Net gains (losses) relating to the effective portion of foreign currency derivatives recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income are as follows (in thousands):
The net foreign currency exchange gains and losses recorded as part of "Interest and other income (loss), net" were losses of $1.2 million for the three months ended January 28, 2012 and gains of $0.2 million for the three months ended January 29, 2011. Gross unrealized loss positions are recorded within "Other accrued liabilities," and gross unrealized gain positions are recorded within "Prepaid expenses and other current assets." As of January 28, 2012, the Company had gross unrealized loss positions of $4.6 million and gross unrealized gain positions of $0.5 million included in "Other accrued liabilities" and "Prepaid expenses and other current assets," respectively. Effective cash flow hedges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Cash flow hedges ineffectiveness, which is included in the Company's net income as part of "Interest and other income (loss), net," was not significant. Volume of Derivative Activity Total gross notional amounts, presented by currency, are as follows (in thousands):
The Company utilizes a rolling hedge strategy for the majority of its foreign currency derivative instruments with cash flow hedge accounting designation that hedges exposures to the variability in the U.S. dollar equivalent of anticipated non-U.S. dollar-denominated cash flows. All of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts are single delivery, which are settled at maturity involving one cash payment exchange. |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 11. Income Taxes For the three months ended January 28, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3.2 million primarily due to a discrete benefit from net reserve releases of settling the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit for fiscal years 2004 through 2006, settling Foundry's 2006 and 2007 California franchise tax audit, and releases from expiring statutes of limitations, offset by a decrease to the federal research and development tax credit which expired on December 31, 2011. For the three months ended January 29, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $5.7 million primarily due to a discrete benefit from the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and development tax credit for calendar year 2011, as a result of the Tax Relief Act enacted on December 17, 2010. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $114.4 million as of January 28, 2012 would affect the Company's effective tax rate, if recognized. Although the timing of the closure of audits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change during fiscal year 2012. The IRS and other tax authorities regularly examine the Company's income tax returns. The IRS has commenced its audit for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. In addition, the Company is under negotiations with the Appeals division of the IRS on transfer pricing issues for fiscal years 2007 and 2008, and in discussion with foreign tax authorities to obtain correlative relief on transfer pricing adjustments settled with the IRS. We believe that our reserves for unrecognized tax benefits are adequate for all open tax years. The timing of the resolution of income tax examinations, as well as the amounts and timing of related settlements, is highly uncertain. The Company believes that before the end of fiscal year 2012, it is reasonably possible that either certain audits will conclude or the statutes of limitations relating to certain income tax examination periods will expire, or both. As such, after we reach settlement with the tax authorities, we expect to record a corresponding adjustment to our unrecognized tax benefits. Given the uncertainty as to settlement terms, the timing of payments and the impact of such settlements on other uncertain tax positions, the range of estimated potential decreases in underlying uncertain tax positions is between $0 and $10 million in the next twelve months.
The Company believes that sufficient positive evidence exists from historical operations and projections of taxable income in future years to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company applies a valuation allowance only on the deferred tax assets relating to capital loss carryforwards, due to limited carryforward periods and the character of such tax attributes. As part of the 2011-2012 budget, the Governor of the State of California has introduced tax proposals affecting future state income tax apportionment that may have a significant impact on the Company's ability to realize certain California deferred tax assets. The Company will reevaluate the realization of its California deferred tax assets if and when the current law changes. |

Segment Information | 12. Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Currently, the CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. Brocade is organized into four operating segments. Two of the operating segments, Data Storage Products and Global Services are individually reportable segments. The other two operating segments, Ethernet Switching & Internet Protocol ("IP") Routing and Application Delivery Products ("ADP"), combine to form a third reportable segment: Ethernet Products. These segments are organized principally by product category. Financial decisions and the allocation of resources are based on the information from the Company's internal management reporting system. The Company does not track its assets by operating segments. The majority of the Company's assets as of January 28, 2012 were attributable to its United States operations. Summarized financial information by reportable segment for the three months ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, based on the internal management reporting system, is as follows (in thousands):

Guarantor And Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries | 15. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries On January 20, 2010, the Company issued in total $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its senior secured notes. The Company's obligations under the senior secured notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is fully owned by the Company and all guarantees are joint and several. The senior secured notes are not guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries, the Company's Canadian and other foreign subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). Pursuant to the terms of the senior secured notes, the guarantees are full and unconditional, but are subject to release under the following circumstances:
Because the guarantees are subject to release under the above described circumstances, they would not be deemed "full and unconditional" for purposes of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. However, as these circumstances are customary, the Company concluded that it may rely on Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, as the other requirements of Rule 3-10 have been met. The following tables present condensed consolidated financial statements for the parent company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, respectively. The following is the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 28, 2012 (in thousands):

Basis Of Presentation [Abstract] | |
Use Of Estimates In Preparation Of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Use of Estimates in Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, sales allowances and programs, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, purchase price allocations, warranty obligations, inventory valuation and purchase commitments, restructuring costs, commissions, facilities lease losses, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, litigation, income taxes and investments. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. |

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements There have been no accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended January 28, 2012 that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosure requirements. |
Concentrations | Concentrations Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are primarily maintained at five major financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may be redeemed upon demand and may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. A majority of the Company's accounts receivable balance is derived from sales to original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") partners in the computer storage and server industry. As of January 28, 2012, two customers accounted for 15% and 11%, respectively, of total accounts receivable, for a combined total of 26% of total accounts receivable. As of October 29, 2011, two customers accounted for 16% and 14%, respectively, of total accounts receivable, for a combined total of 30% of total accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable balances. The Company has established reserves for credit losses, sales allowances, and other allowances. For the three months ended January 28, 2012, three customers accounted for 20%, 15% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's total net revenues for a combined total of 48% of total net revenues. For the three months ended January 29, 2011, three customers accounted for 18%, 17% and 12%, respectively, of the Company's total net revenues for a combined total of 47% of total net revenues.
The Company currently relies on single and limited sources for multiple key components used in the manufacture of its products. Additionally, the Company relies on multiple contract manufacturers ("CMs") for the production of its products. Although the Company uses standard parts and components for its products where possible, the Company's CMs currently purchase, on the Company's behalf, several key components used in the manufacture of products from single or limited supplier sources. |

Cash includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the customer may deposit additional funds at any time and effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid Investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Short-term investments, exclusive of cash equivalents, generally consist of marketable securities intended to be sold within one year (or the normal operating cycle if longer) and may include trading securities, available-for-sale securities, or held-to-maturity securities (if maturing within one year), as applicable.

- Definition
Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).
