84-port managed chassis for campus and data centre

The Brocade FastIron SuperX chassis delivers 84 ports of managed Ethernet connectivity in a rack-mountable form factor. Redundant management modules, load-sharing switch fabrics, fans and power supplies provide the resiliency required for continuous operation. It is suited to organisations that need a single high-density platform spanning the network edge to the backbone.

Practical limits of managed Ethernet at this density

A managed switch of this port count requires configuration of VLANs, QoS policies and security features to realise the promised predictable performance. The shared switch fabric and redundant components introduce complexity that must be planned during design and maintained during operation. Power and cooling budgets scale with full port utilisation, so infrastructure capacity must be verified.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 70.00 lb chassis and that power circuits match the redundant supply requirements. Ensure your network team has the expertise to configure and maintain the advanced management, QoS and security features. Validate that the physical space, airflow and cabling plan support the full 84-port deployment.
