The New Stackable Enterprise Switch Series Was Introduced by Broadcom

The BCM56545 series delivers application level visibility on a single switch chip

 

Broadcom, a semiconductor applications firm for wired and wireless communications, has introduced new stackable enterprise switch series with integrated and wire-speed application-level visibility and mobility features suited for the Enterprise 2.0 workplace.

 

The BCM56545 series is based on the StrataXGS architecture and delivers application level visibility on a single switch chip.

 

The App-IQ Web 2.0-ready technology delivers traffic visualisation for social networking and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications, allowing network managers to implement application-level intelligent policies, manage congestion, and meet the increased application visibility demands of the modern workplace.

 

Network managers now can block undesired applications and improve employee productivity with a cost effective and scalable approach.

 

BCM56545 switch series incorporates 48 ports of 1GbE, 4 ports of 10GbE and 80 Gigabit optical QSFP-based cost-effective stacking performance.

 

It also meets the bandwidth and speed demands in the enterprise and complements integrated WLAN support using CAPWAP technology with standards-based port extender support.

 

IT managers can now deploy a large base of mobile users and devices with granular policies, through support for many virtual switch ports.

 

The new release eliminates the need to deploy expensive, specialised appliances or core switch service blades, enables cost-effective, power-efficient fan-out to a large number of users and devices and is compatible with Broadcom's XLP multi-core processors for control plane processing.
