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 new network architectures where the core can be distributed across the campus, deploying ports and switching capacity directly where they are needed.
RUCKUS core Switches are designed to meet the most demanding enterprise requirements. they deliver non-blocking line-rate performance on all ports concurrently, with a switching capacity up to 6.4 Tbps, supporting the next generation Ethernet speeds with 10/25 Gigabit Ethernet at the aggregation and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet to meet high volume of traffic driving from the edge into the core. They also support a rich array of routing protocols and delivers a range of high-availability hardware and software features.
Find the right switch for your network. ICX switches work seamlessly with RUCKUS Wi-Fi access points and RUCKUS SmartZone network controllers to deliver the highest performance and most cost-effective solutions on the market today.

Switching to a New Era: Why Enterprise Networks Are Moving Toward 100GbE
Scaling out the network
Re-architecting enterprise networks with high-performance stackable switches.
IT managers overseeing networks at smaller organizations, need solutions that simplify and automate the deployment and management of their networks. These organizations are better served by network products that can be operated without relying on costly network experts.
For the first time in the industry, Ruckus is enabling IT to deploy a single network element, the network controller, to simultaneously and directly control and manage both wired and wireless networks. IT no longer needs to deploy a
separate, stand-alone network management system to manage their switches and access points. Simple.
Re-Architecting Enterprise Networks With High-performance Stackable Switches
In recent years the evolution of packet processor and CPU technology, the heart of an Ethernet
switch, has allowed unprecedented levels of performance and functionality to be incorporated
into fixed form factor (FFF) switches which were previously only available to much larger and
more costly chassis-based systems. This situation was highlighted by Gartner analyst Andrew
Lerner in his blog post on the topic of fixed form factor switching in the data center, which applies
equally well to campus edge networks, concludes “the emergence of high-density fixed form factor
switches can reduce or eliminate the need for costlier, oversized chassis-based switches in the data
center. The move toward FFF switches will help network managers deliver higher-performance
networks and reduce footprint, power, cooling and TCO.”
Ruckus ICX Switches Take Stacking to The Next Level
Network architects are often confronted with competing objectives when designing new campus networks: maximize scalability, and
upgradability while keeping management simple. A stack of fixed form factor switches, offers the ease of management of a chassis
with vastly superior flexibility and cost effectiveness. Stacking has become the de-facto standard architecture at the campus edge,
replacing modular chassis switches. Ruckus ICX fixed form factor switches go beyond traditional stacking to offer capabilities that
take flexibility, ease of management and cost effectiveness to the next level.
The Power Of Ruckus Campus Fabric In The Data Center
Small to mid-sized organizations often don’t have the budgets and the
skillsets to support a sophisticated data center infrastructure. Ruckus ICX
switching’s innovative technologies enable the deployment of a modern high
performance data center networking infrastructure at lower cost without
specialized data center networking experience.
Transforming The Network With Ruckus Campus Fabric
Traditional Campus Architectures Struggle to Meet Today’s Application Requirements
For the past two decades, campus network design has seen
little innovation, as market leaders have promoted the status
quo with no significant investments beyond incremental “speeds
and feeds” enhancements. Years of incremental technology
upgrades have turned traditional legacy campus networks, into
a complex and fragmented patchwork of network devices
