Chassis-Like Capabilities in
a Stackable Form Factor
Today’s enterprise campus networks
are expected to deliver services thought
impossible just a few years ago. HighDefinition (HD) video conferencing,
real-time collaboration, Unified
Communications (UC), and Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) are only a
few of the applications that organizations
are deploying to enhance employee
productivity, improve customer service,
and create a competitive advantage. These
same networks must also provide anytime,
anywhere mobile access and scale to meet
rising user expectations. At the same time,
organizations face continued pressure to
reduce costs and do more with less. More
than ever, campus networks need to quickly
and efficiently evolve with the ever-changing
business environment.
•tSimplifies network operations and
protects investments with Brocade
HyperEdge™ technology*, enabling
single-point network lifecycle
management and advanced services
sharing across a heterogeneous stack
The Brocade One™ strategy helps
simplify networking infrastructures
through innovative technologies and
solutions. The Brocade ICX 6610 Switch
supports this strategy by enabling nonstop network access to today’s missioncritical applications with the best price/
performance while ensuring scalability
for tomorrow’s needs.

Brocade HyperEdge technology is planned to be available
for purchase in the first half of 2013.
COMBINING THE BEST OF A CHASSIS
AND A STACKABLE SWITCH
The Brocade® ICX™ 6610 Switch redefines
the economics of enterprise networking
by providing unprecedented levels of
performance, availability, and flexibility
in a stackable form factor—delivering
the capabilities of a chassis with the
flexibility and cost-effectiveness of a
stackable switch.
Class-Leading Performance for
Today and Tomorrow
The Brocade ICX 6610 delivers wire-speed,
non-blocking performance across all ports
to support latency-sensitive applications
such as real-time voice and video streaming
and VDI. Brocade ICX 6610 Switches
can be stacked using four full-duplex
40 Gbps stacking ports that provide an
