Dallas (Vocus/PRWEB ) April 8, 2010 -- Haynes and Boone, LLP attorneys have secured a $12.5 million jury verdict on behalf of Dallas-based Data Center Systems (DCS) in a case alleging fraud related to a three-year agreement with Computer Network Technology Corporation (CNT) concerning data center connectivity products. CNT is now known as McData Services Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brocade Communication Systems (Case 3:06-cv-00812-L).
U.S. District Court Judge Sam A. Lindsay of the Northern District of Texas has entered final judgment in the case, capping three years of litigation. With interest, the total award amount was more than $14.5 million.
In the 2003 agreement, DCS acquired the rights to two fiber optic product lines. CNT agreed to promote, market and sell both product lines and not to compete with DCS during the entire three-year term of the agreement.
Data Center Systems is a leading designer, manufacturer and installer of fiber optic structured cabling solutions for storage area networks and mainframe environments in data centers worldwide. Prior to its acquisition in 2005 by McData Corporation, CNT sold switches, gateways and storage management software for large computer networks. McData Corporation was acquired by Brocade Communication Systems of San Jose, California, in 2007.
The Haynes and Boone team included partners David Drez, Stephen M. Pezanosky and Ben Mesches, and associate Josh Borsellino. CNT was represented at trial by Harvey Cohen of Austin and Susman Godfrey, LLP partner Terrell W. Oxford of Dallas.
