LAN
Local networks – Efficient communication is based on a powerful and scalable local network that requires only little initial investment and is often referred to as a campus network. RUCKUS ICX switches make this approach a reality. Multiple series of devices, including no equipment larger than 1U, make it possible to build modern networks supporting the latest standards and serving as a basis for dynamic services and applications developed for such networks.
What are RUCKUS ICX predecessors? These devices have descended directly from campus network veterans such as Brocade and earlier Foundry Networks.
What makes RUCKUS ICX switches different from other solutions? The ICX switches make it possible to built stacks of as many as 12 switches. Connections within a stack can be provided locally, via DAC cables, or at a distance of up to 10 km using fiber-optic cables. A number of high-availability mechanisms in various layers can be chosen for RUCKUS ICX switches: from the Multi-Chassis Trunking physical redundancy which consists in building a cluster of two independent devices, totally different from the stack of switches, to VRRP/VRRP-E and the advanced layer of dynamic routing protocols.
The usability of the interface for managing the network environment is also important, preferably including the Wi-Fi network from a single interface of RUCKUS SmartZone or RUCKUS Cloud controller.
