High Availability
When every second matters, Brocade ICX
6610 Switches help deliver continuous
availability to optimize the user experience.
Brocade stacking technology delivers high
availability, performing real-time state
synchronization across the stack and
enabling instantaneous hitless failover to
a standby controller in the unlikely event
of a failure of the master stack controller.
Organizations also can use hot-insertion/
removal of stack members to avoid
interrupting service when adding a
switch to increase the capacity of a stack
or replacing a switch that needs servicing.

In addition to stack-level high availability,
Brocade ICX 6610 Switches include system-
level high-availability features, such as dual
hot-swappable, load-sharing, and redundant
power supplies. The modular design also
has dual hot-swappable fan trays. These
features provide another level of availability
for the campus wiring closet in a compact
form factor. Additional design features
include intake and exhaust temperature
sensors and fan spin detection to quickly
identify abnormal or failed operating
conditions—helping to minimize mean
time to repair.

Unmatched Simplicity and
Investment Protection
The Brocade ICX 6610 is easy to deploy,
manage, and integrate into both new and
existing networks. Organizations can buy
only what they need today and easily
scale up as demand grows and new
technologies emerge.

The flexibility of a stackable switch allows
organizations to forgo investing in a chassis
upfront and put precious capital to better
use elsewhere. Organizations can purchase
an initial switch to get started and add a
new Brocade ICX 6610 Switch to the stack
as their business grows.

With capabilities such as bandwidth on
demand, the Brocade ICX 6610 enables
organizations to grow their networks when
necessary. Organizations can initially deploy
1 GbE uplink ports and upgrade to 10 GbE
ports when desired with an easy-to-activate
software license.

The Brocade ICX 6610 uses standard
40 GbE ports and QSFP cables for stacking.
This not only delivers class-leading stacking
performance and availability, but also
increases cabling options and reduces
cable costs—unlike competitive offerings,
which rely on proprietary stacking ports
and cables.

Hardware support for the new MACsec,
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), and
40 GbE standards provides maximum
future-proofing and investment protection,
enabling organizations to deploy these
capabilities as needed when more network
devices supporting them become available.

Brocade stacking technology makes it
possible to stack up to eight Brocade
ICX 6610 Switches into a single logical
chassis switch, providing simple and robust
expandability for future growth at the
network edge or aggregation layer. Also, this
stacked virtual switch has only a single IP
address to simplify management, and offers
transparent forwarding across a pool of up
to 384 1 GbE and 64 10 GbE ports. When
new switches are added to the stack, they
automatically inherit the stack’s existing
configuration file, enabling true plug-and-
play network expansion.
