Next-Generation Modular Routing Platform for the Digital Era

With mobile connectivity, cloud services, and 4K HD video streaming for billions of devices the norm, and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and augmented reality and virtual reality on the horizon, organizations must modernize the way they communicate and conduct business. In addition to consuming an enormous amount of network capacity, these services increase operational complexity just as organizations are striving to meet customer demands for greater business agility and performance.

To succeed in the digital era, organizations need network platforms that allow them to simplify and speed up operations, without increasing costs. Such platforms incorporate innovative software to analyze and automate network operations, thereby reducing OpEx, and provide flexible deployment options with forwarding performance and scale to dramatically reduce CapEx.

Extensible Routing Platform

The Brocade® SLX® 9850 Router is designed to cost-effectively deliver the density, scale, and performance needed to address the explosive growth in network bandwidth, devices, and services-today and well into the future. This flexible platform, powered by Brocade SLX-OS, provides carrier-class advanced features that leverage proven Brocade routing technology currently deployed in the most demanding data center, service provider, and enterprise networks. And it is all delivered through best-in-class forwarding hardware. The extensible architecture is designed for investment protection, to readily support future requirements for greater bandwidth, scale, and forwarding capabilities. In addition, the Brocade SLX 9850 helps address the increasing agility and analytics needs of digital organizations with innovative network automation and visibility enabled through Brocade Workflow Composer™ and the Brocade SLX Insight Architecture.

High Availability with 230 Tbps-scale Forwarding

The Brocade SLX 9850 is the industry's most powerful IPv4, IPv6, MPLS/MultiVRF and BGP-EVPN data center router, providing a cost-efficient solution that is Brocade SLX 9850-8, an eight interfaceslot system. Management modules, interface modules, and power supply modules are interchangeable across both the four- and eight-slot models, thereby decreasing inventory and maintenance costs. All modules are hot-pluggable, minimizing system disruption when adding or replacing a module.

FUTURE-READY PLATFORM

Maximize investment protection with costefficient density, scale, and performance to handle the exponential growth in network bandwidth, devices, and services.
