Overview :

In response to evolving user demands and technological advancements, campus networks are facing heightened demands, necessitating scalability to accommodate a growing number of devices and increased bandwidth delivery. The swift surge in wireless traffic, driven by the widespread adoption of 802.11ac and 802.11ax Wi-Fi standards, is steering a migration from 1GbE to Multi-gigabit at the access level, escalating the demand for faster networks at the aggregation and core layers.

As organizations rapidly shift applications from private data centers to the cloud, the need for always-on, reliable, high-speed connections becomes paramount. This shift concurrently results in reduced data center sizes, rendering most large chassis/routers impractical due to their complexity and expense.

Traditional enterprise networks, historically reliant on chassis systems, are adapting to leverage stackable switch designs. Recent breakthroughs in network processors enable the encapsulation of reliable, high-speed, and scalable routing capabilities into more flexible and cost-effective stackable switches. This innovation facilitates new network architectures, allowing for the distribution of the core across the campus. The Ruckus® ICX® 7850 Switch is specifically engineered to address these challenges, delivering nonblocking line-rate performance across all ports simultaneously, with a substantial switching capacity of up to 6.4 Tbps. It supports next-generation Ethernet speeds, ensuring seamless aggregation with 10/25 Gigabit Ethernet and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet at the core to accommodate the escalating traffic volume from the edge into the core.
