Ruckus ICX 7850-48C - switch - 48 ports - managed - rack-mountable

Organizations are rapidly migrating applications from private data centers to the cloud requiring always-on, reliable, high-speed connections to the cloud and resulting in reduced data centers size for which most large chassis/routers are overkill and too complex and expensive to deploy.

Traditional enterprise networks were architected to utilize chassis systems to deliver reliable, high-speed, and scalable routing capabilities to the campus. With recent advances in network processors these capabilities can be packaged into a more flexible stackable switch design. This opens the door to unique network architectures where the core can be distributed across the campus, deploying ports and switching capacity directly where they are needed.

The RUCKUS ICX 7850 Switch is designed to meet these challenges. It delivers non-blocking line-rate performance on all ports concurrently, with a high switching capacity. It supports the next generation Ethernet speeds with 10/25 Gigabit Ethernet at the aggregation and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet at the core to meet high volume of traffic driving from the edge into the core. It also supports a rich array of routing protocols and delivers a range of high-availability hardware and software features. Like the rest of the ICX family, the ICX 7850 also offers a range of features designed to simplify network deployment and management such as advanced stacking, and zero touch provisioning.

The Ruckus ICX 7850-48C offers 48x 1/10G GbE copper ports (10GBASE-T) and 8x 40/100GbE ports for uplinks or stacking. The switch is targeted at enterprise customers who need a high-performance, highly-reliable copper aggregation switch or a top of the rack switches in the data center to connect servers with 10GbE copper Ethernet ports.
