Cost-Optimized Cooling Options
The Brocade ICX 6430 48-port and Brocade
ICX 6450 24- and 48-port switches offer
industry-standard side-to-back airow with
quiet fans at less than 40 dB (except the
Brocade ICX 6450-48P). The Brocade ICX
6430-C/6450-C and 6430-24 Switches
are available in a fanless conguration,
helping to minimize sound and costs
for deployments where users are
present, such as classrooms and
open ofce environments.
Basic Layer 3 Capabilities
Brocade ICX 6450/6450-C Switches
offer an upgrade option to bring Layer 3
capabilities to the network edge, reducing
complexity, and enhancing the reliability of
enterprise networks.
Data Center ToR Server Connectivity
The Brocade ICX 6430 and 6450
are designed to t in server racks by
consuming only one rack unit. In data
center environments where most servers
are 1 GbE-capable, the Brocade ICX 6430
and 6450 provide a compact and cost-
effective 1 GbE Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch
by simply connecting the 1 GbE Network
Interface Cards (NICs) in the servers to the
Brocade ICX 6430 and 6450 1 GbE ports
(see Figure 5). This conguration uses
10 GbE links (Brocade ICX 6450) or
1 GbE links (Brocade ICX 6430) to
connect to Brocade ICX data center
aggregation switches.
SIMPLIFIED, SECURE STANDARDS-
BASED MANAGEMENT AND
MONITORING
Brocade ICX 6430 and 6450 Switches
provide simplied, standards-based
management capabilities that help
organizations reduce administrative time
and effort while securing their networks.
sFlow-based “Always-On” Network
Monitoring
sFlow is a standards-based network export
protocol (RFC 3176) that addresses many
of the challenges that network managers
face today. By embedding sFlow into the
Brocade ICX 6450/6450-C Switches,
Brocade delivers an “always-on” technology
that operates with wire-speed performance.
sFlow dramatically reduces implementation
costs compared to traditional network
monitoring solutions that rely on mirrored
ports, probes, and line-tap technologies.
Moreover, sFlow gives organizations a full,
enterprise-wide monitoring capability for
every port in the network.

Brocade ICX 6430 and 6450 Switches are suitable for a wide range
of small to medium-size enterprises and branch ofce deployments
at the network access layer.
