Internet Exchanges (IX) demand high-
performance Layer 2 topologies with high
density Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
These cross-roads of the Internet connect
high-performance routers from many Service
Providers in peering relationships without
requiring a full mesh of router ports.
The BigIron RX Series excels in this
environment. offering high density 1-Gigabit
and 10-Gigabit Ethernet together with the
resiliency features of the chassis make the
BigIron RX Series an extremely cost effective
and robust solution.
brocade for High-Performance
Computing solutions
High-performance computing has entered
the mainstream marketplace with Ethernet
switching as the technology of choice. Ultra-low
latency and high-density Ethernet switching
are required for successful deployment.
The BigIron RX Series chassis are ideal
for this environment. They offer low latency
through the switch with unparalleled
densities of 10/100/1000 Ethernet, fiber
Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet in
compact size chassis—up to 1,536 ports of
Gigabit Ethernet or 128 ports of 10-Gigabit
Ethernet in a single chassis. the high-
performance architecture offers up to
3.2 tbps of data switching capacity to
meet the needs of the most demanding
HPC environment. The combination of
performance, density and reliability makes
the BigIron RX Series an excellent choice
for Enterprise HPc environments.
