I'll try to add some context around "how" or "why" things might mean more than meets the eye.

I agree with you that Brocade should be part of Huawei’s strategy if they want a huge competitive mkt against Cisco, Cisco was established and Leading Brazil comm´s since 90’s but now they are loosing many deals, specially about troubles with their major distributor called MUDE, legal issues is going to measure with severity by government and high executives. I worked for Cisco during 90’s decade and 00’s, after that I worked as employee for Nortel, Brocade, Intel, HP, and my last 3 years I spent with EMC. Our largest Brazil’s mkt follow battle, specially for communications and cloud computing, my suggetion is EMC+VMware+Cisco+Dell, HP+Cisco, IBM+Cisco against Huawei+Symantec+Citrix+Brocade+Lenovo, nobody will fight alone. For me Intel and Microsoft are in the middle driving relationships, sharing executives like EMC did with Intel, but I developed business at all segments like enterprise, government & federal accts, I never before seen a serious battle like now, believe me.

After all, in addition to all of the points you make, lets also not forget about Huawei deals with storage software vendors including Symantec among others for the asian/oceiana/far east markets. This is one of those fun, outside of the box type deals to think about, the type that those who think in the box would put it at a 150:1 (isnt that a dedupe ratio ;) ) and thus like the odds of the MN Twins going all the way, you gotta put something into it... Cheers - gs Steve concur that modern math could be 1+1=10+ here.
