Module description
The 24-port and 48-port models of the Brocade FCX Series of switches support Power over Ethernet (PoE) and non-PoE applications. They are designed to meet today's enterprise campus and data center network wire-speed and non-blocking performance requirement. The FastIron SX Series extends control from the network edge to the core with intelligent network services, such as Quality of Service (QoS). The FastIron SX Series provides a scalable, secure, low-latency, and fault-tolerant IP services solution for 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) enterprise deployments.
