DESCRIPTION
ENTRY-LEVEL ACCESS SWITCH FAMILY DELIVERS UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE AND FEATURES IN ITS CLASS
The Ruckus® ICX® 7150 family of stackable switches delivers the performance, flexibility, and scalability required for enterprise access deployment, raising the bar with non-blocking performance and up to 8×10 GbE ports for uplinks or stacking. It offers seamless interoperability with Ruckus wireless products to deliver unified wired and wireless network access. In addition, Ruckus Multigigabit Ethernet technology offers bandwidth speeds needed to optimize performance of the latest generation high performance wireless access points and edge devices, over standard Ethernet cables.
The Ruckus ICX 7150 family of switches are available in three formats:
RUCKUS ICX 7150 SWITCHES
The standard Ruckus ICX 7150 switches are available in 24-, and 48-port 10/100/1000 Mbps models with four 1/10 GbE dual-purpose uplink/stacking ports. These switches are available with or without PoE+ power. Silent operation is available for out-of-closet environments.
RUCKUS ICX 7150 Z-SERIES SWITCHES
The Ruckus ICX 7150-48ZP 48-port switch adds higher performance, greater resiliency and increased PoE power. The switch offers Multigigabit technology (IEEE 802.3bz) to match the highest performing 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless access points available, with dual redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans, and up to 8×10 GbE uplink/stacking ports.
The switch offers 16 Multigigabit (100Mbps/1Gbps/2.5Gbps) ports, each with Power-over-HDBaseT (PoH) up to 90 watts and 802.3bt ready, plus 32 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with PoE+. With a maximum PoE budget of 1480 watts, this switch delivers the power, and performance, to drive PoE+ power to all 48 ports.
RUCKUS ICX 7150 COMPACT SWITCHES
The Ruckus ICX 7150-C12P compact 12-port stackable switch features a fanless design to operate silently in out-of-closet environments such as offices, classrooms, and retail spaces. It offers PoE+ on all 12 ports to drive devices such as wireless APs, VoIP phones, lighting fixtures or surveillance cameras. With 2×1/10 GbE uplink/stacking ports, the ICX 7150-C12 delivers high performance in a small package.
STACKING ACROSS THE ICX 7150 FAMILY
Ruckus stacking technology makes it possible to stack up to twelve Ruckus ICX 7150 switches into a single logical switch. This allows the Ruckus ICX 7150 to deliver a class-leading 480 Gbps of aggregated stacking bandwidth and offer simple and robust expandability for future growth. Stacking is supported across the ICX 7150 family and all ICX 7150 models including the ICX 7150 compact switch and the ICX 7150-48ZP can be mixed within the same stack. This stacked switch has only a single IP address that simplifies management and offers transparent forwarding across up to 600×1 GbE ports or up to 192×2.5 GbE ports, and up to 96×10 GbE ports. When new switches join the stack, they automatically inherit the stack’s existing configuration file, enabling a plug-and-play network expansion.
Because the ICX 7150-48ZP switch has twice as many uplink ports, when it is added to a stack of other ICX 7150 switch models, the effective bandwidth of all the switches is doubled. By designing the stack this way, all four of the 10GbE ports on the ICX 7150 switches can be used for stacking (rather than having to split the four ports between stacking and uplinks), and leveraging four of the 10GbE ports on the ICX 7150-48ZP for stacking and the other four 10GbE ports can be used for uplinks.
ENTERPRISE-CLASS AVAILABILITY
The Ruckus ICX 7150 Switches help deliver continuous availability to optimize the user experience. Ruckus stacking technology provides high availability by performing real-time state synchronization across the stack and transferring switch management control from the master stack controller to the standby controller if the master stack controller experiences a failure. When hot-inserting or hot-removing a stack member to increase capacity or perform service upgrade, traffic flows will not experience interruption.
In addition to stack-level high availability, Ruckus ICX 7150 Switches also support stack level ISSU (In Service Software Upgrade), a unique capability that allows the user to perform software upgrades to a Ruckus ICX 7150 stack without service interruption. Taking high-availability and reliability even further, the Ruckus ICX 7150 Z-Series switch offers redundant hot swappable load sharing power supplies and up to 2 hot swappable fans.
