These innovative IP networking solutions provide a flexible foundation for more efficient application delivery, next-generation convergence applications, and data center modularization.

ServerIron ADX Series: Revolutionizing Application Delivery
The ServerIron ADX Series includes flexible application delivery switches that provide industry-leading Layer 4 through 7 switching performance and scalability in a chassis-based platform. You can choose from three different switch models to build a highly secure and scalable application service infrastructure.

ServerIron ADX switches provide twice the throughput of the leading competitive offering, accelerating application processing to optimize the distribution and flow of data traffic.

By providing a single platform to reduce network load and extend server farm scalability, the switches enable you to streamline your operations, increase business agility, and significantly reduce costs.

Additional highlights include:

• Improved application and server farm performance
• High-availability options
• Application-aware load balancing and content switching capabilities

FastIron CX Series: Redefining IP Networking Edge Capabilities
The FastIron CX Series of switches provides new levels of performance, flexibility, and scalability for your enterprise campus network in a compact 1U form factor.

Through their advanced pay-as-you-grow capabilities, these stackable switches can help you simplify expansion at the network edge. Utilizing built-in 16 Gbps stacking ports and Brocade IronStack technology, you can stack up to eight physical switches into a single logical switch with up to 384 ports.

Because FastIron CX switches can deliver both power and data, they provide a single-cable solution for supporting edge devices such as Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, video surveillance cameras, and wireless access points. Power over Ethernet (PoE+) and non-PoE+ switch models are available, with the PoE models supporting the PoE+ standard to deliver up to 30 watts of power to edge devices.

Additional highlights include:

• Wire-speed, non-blocking performance
• Optional 10 GbE ports for connecting to aggregation or core layers
• Base Layer 3 capabilities and optional full IPv4 Layer 3 routing

TurboIron 24X Switch: Transforming Top-of-Rack Server Connectivity
The TurboIron 24X combines leading-edge flexibility, performance, and reliability to simplify top-of-rack server connectivity while providing a fast ROI. This compact, high-density 10/1 GbE dual-speed switch is ideal for the most demanding data center and High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments.

An ultra-low-latency, cut-through, non-blocking architecture provides a powerful but cost-effective solution for server or compute-node connectivity. With 24 ports capable of 10/1 GbE performance, the TurboIron 24X enables seamless and cost-effective migration to 10 GbE in data centers.

Additional highlights include:

• Highly efficient power and cooling to help support “green” initiatives
• Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies
• End-to-end QoS and embedded sFlow capabilities
