Increased Reliability through
Redundancy and Intelligence
The Brocade ICX 7750 includes dual-
internal redundant power supplies. These
power supplies are hot-swappable and
load-sharing with auto-sensing and auto-
switching capabilities, which are critical for
power redundancy and deployment flexibility
(see Figure 5).

SDN-ENABLED PROGRAMMATIC
CONTROL OF THE NETWORK
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a
powerful new network paradigm designed
for the world’s most demanding networking
environments and promises breakthrough
levels of customization, scale, and
efficiency. The Brocade ICX 7750 enables
SDN by supporting the OpenFlow 1.0 and
1.3 protocols, which allow communication
between an OpenFlow controller and an
OpenFlow-enabled switch

Up to 12 Brocade ICX 7750 Switches can be stacked using up to six standard full-duplex
40 Gbps QSFP+ ports per switch, providing up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. Two
1 Gbps ports on each switch can be used to create a dedicated path for forwarding system
health and control information across the stack for maximum reliability.

Flexible, Long-Distance Stacking
Up to 12 Brocade ICX 7750 Switches
can be stacked together to form a
single logical switch, providing STP-
free traffic forwarding, a single point
of management, and Link Aggregation
Groups (LAGs) across the stack.

Six full-duplex standard QSFP+ 40 Gbps
stacking ports (front six or optional
rear six ports may be used) provide a
class-leading 480 Gbps of backplane
bandwidth with full redundancy,
essentially eliminating the need to work
around inter-switch bottlenecks.

A selection of standard QSFP+ copper
cables or standard QSFP+ optics can be
used to stack Brocade ICX 7750 Switches
together, enabling stacking over distance
and thereby eliminating the need for
stacked switches to be colocated in the
same wiring closet.
