NetIron MLX series routers, based on a leading-edge architecture and terabit-switching fabric based on a fifth-generation network processor, provide network planners with a rich set of high-performance IPv4, IPv6, MPLS, and Multi-VRF functionality and advanced Layer 2 switching capabilities. These advanced switching routers offer a wide range of features to meet the diverse needs of many environments including MAN, ISP, data center, large enterprises, government networks, education/research, and high performance computing (HPC).

The ServerIron ADX series switches are application delivery controllers that provide industry-leading Layer 2-7 switching performance to help build highly secure and scalable application service infrastructures. These switches can measure server utilization and connection load in real time, efficiently allocate unified application business loads on this basis, provide comprehensive visibility and effectively manage application performance, security and service delivery. Therefore, applications can run more efficiently while providing higher availability, thereby simplifying operations, increasing business flexibility and significantly reducing costs.

Brocade® Fabric OS®（FOS）6.2 version introduces Virtual Fabrics, which divides a physical switch into multiple logical switches. Each logical switch can be independently established or belong to a logical fabric, and implement independent data paths, fabric architecture configuration, and management.

The Brocade SilkWorm 200E Fibre Channel switch is an economical and practical SAN solution that supports a speed of 4 Gbit/sec. It is suitable for small and medium-sized users. The switch has the characteristics of low cost, high flexibility, and strong scalability, making it easy to deploy and configure SAN systems.

Brocade 300 switch is an easy-to-use entry-level SAN switch that provides small businesses with scalable, highly available and reliable SAN connectivity. 8-port, 16-port and 24-port configurations meet a variety of deployment needs. With auto-sensing 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gbit/sec throughput and native operation with Brocade and Brocade M-series fabric architectures, it protects existing investments.
