"The Brocade TurboIron 24X addresses all of these attributes and is available at a very compelling price point, giving buyers a great choice to manage their mission-critical data center and computing requirements." -- "Standard Power over Ethernet has allowed organizations to streamline the deployment and operation of wireless access points, IP phones, and IP video surveillance cameras," said Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst, enterprise voice and data for Infonetics Research. "The main application for PoE Plus today is pan/tilt/zoom IP video cameras, but as part of a research study I recently conducted, there will likely be a slew of new devices taking advantage of the additional power. By selecting PoE Plus capable switches, buyers can ensure that their networks can handle their future needs." -- "Continuous innovation, performance, and quality are important brand attributes we value at Brocade," said Marc Randall, senior vice president of products and offerings for Brocade.
