Brocade FastIron WS
Intelligence Edge Switching for Workgroups & Unified Communications
The Brocade FastIron WS workgroup switches are 1U form factor switches with enterprise-class Layer 2/Layer 3 capabilities.Available as 24-port and 48-port models, the FastIron WS switches can be configured or upgraded with PoE to support unified communications, and support for Layer 3 features can be added as well.
