The Brocade ICX 6650 provides a
collapsed aggregation and core layer
for enterprise networks, while the
Brocade ICX 6610, 6430, and 6450
Switches provide access to users.

fault-tolerant connectivity (see Figure 5).
Collapsed Aggregation and Core Layer
Deployment for Enterprise Networks
The aggregation and core layer may be
collapsed in some environments due to a
smaller number of connections from the
access/edge layer. In this case, the need for
a cost-effective, high-density 10 GbE
platform becomes imperative. The Brocade
ICX 6650 provides the necessary advanced
Layer 2 and Layer 3 features to be deployed
in such networks (see Figure 6).

Cost-Effective Colocated Financial
Services
Brokerage firms, trading partners, and
financial service providers use colocated
data centers as a way to connect and
exchange data. The Brocade ICX 6650 acts
as a border gateway for these data centers
to efficiently and cost-effectively exchange
BGP routes between virtual sites using
1/10 GbE connectivity (see Figure 7).
