APEXnetworks has selected the Brocade ICX family of campus Ethernet switches and Brocade NetIron 2000 CER Series of routers for its next-generation equipment within its distribution network and for deployment at customer premises.
The heart of the Brocade solution is the Brocade ICX 6610 Switch, which delivers the performance and availability of a chassis-based switch in a stackable form factor – and the economics and flexibility to go with it. Each switch delivers wire-speed, non-blocking performance across 48 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports and eight 10 GbE ports to support latency-sensitive applications, with plenty of capacity for high-speed connectivity to APEXnetworks’ core layer.
In addition to deploying Brocade ICX 6610 Switches in the distribution layer, APEXnetworks is leveraging Brocade ICX 6450 Switches and Brocade 6910 Ethernet Access Switches at customer sites, enabling it to provision both simple and complex customers with the same platform.
Commonality across the Brocade ICX family also includes embedded support for sFlow, a standards-based network export protocol. By embedding sFlow, Brocade delivers “always-on” monitoring without impacting network performance, dramatically reducing implementation costs compared to traditional network monitoring solutions, and giving APEXnetworks the ability to monitor every port of its Ethernet network.
Enhancements further include the deployment of Brocade solutions throughout its Point-of-Presence (PoP) network.
