High Performance, Intelligent
Switches For Total Network
Convergence
DATA SHEET
Businesses continue to strive to be
competitively superior and demand network
infrastructures be resilient, secure, and
do more with less. As requirements to
protect, optimize, and grow the enterprise
have extended from basic connectivity to
a much higher level of intelligent service-
based infrastructures, the network has
evolved to provide an even greater value to
the organizations. The Brocade
®
FastIron
®
SuperX/SX family of PoE-ready Layer
2/Layer 3 switches provides a superior
scalable foundation for better operational
efciency and faster response to business
opportunities today and into the future.
The FastIron SuperX/SX family extends
control from the network edge to the
backbone with intelligent network services,
including superior quality of service (QoS),
predictable performance, advanced security,
comprehensive management, and integrated
resiliency. Additionally, the FastIron SuperX/
SX family offers compatibility in a common
operating system, and a shared interface
and power supply modules reduce the cost of
ownership by minimizing operational expenses
and improving return on investment (ROI).
