Organizations 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 high level of intelligent service-based infrastructures, the network has evolved to provide an even greater value to the organizations. The Brocade FastIron Edge Switch X Series provides greater flexibility, higher reliability, enhanced security, and extensive redundancy for better operational efficiency and faster response to business opportunities today and into the future.

FastIron Edge X Series offers a diverse range of switches that meet Layer 2/Layer 3 edge, aggregation, or small-network backbone-connectivity requirements with intelligent network services, including superior quality of service (QoS), predictable performance, advanced security, comprehensive management, and integrated resiliency. It is the ideal networking platform to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Additionally, the FastIron Edge X Series features the benefits of a "pay-as-you-grow" architecture and price-performance value for fixed Ethernet solutions with the addition of a removable, replaceable, load-sharing power supply and 10GbE modules in a 1.5 Rack Unit (RU) form factor. The FastIron Edge X Series can be initially installed using "Small Form Pluggable" (SFP) Gigabit Ethernet modules, then field-upgraded with one or two "10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable" (XFP) modules, extending the usability of the product.
