Today’s service providers face market challenges that require a new breed of solutions to ensure successful and profitable operation. Service providers operate in an environment of fierce competition that continues to drive service pricing down. A smooth introduction of new, reliable, and scalable services is difficult for many service providers, yet, it is crucial to expanding the subscriber base and improving subscriber retention. Adding to these challenges is an exponential growth trend in Internet traffic that continues to erode network capacities. Furthermore, ensuring and increasing profitability, which require controlling Capital Expenditures CapEx) and Operational Expenditures (OpEx), are key goals for any service provider.

The Brocade® NetIron® XMR Series routers are built to address all these hurdles by offering state-of-the-art design in hardware and software. Based on a superior terabit- scale architecture that includes cutting- edge, fifth-generation network processors,

this series comprises the industry’s most powerful, high density IPv4/ IPv6/MPLS multi-service routers. To enable the deployment of scalable, high value, and profitable services, the NetIron XMR Series offers highly versatile, cost-efficient solutions for Internet routing, inter-Metro backbones, large scale multi-service backbones, and IP carrier’s carrier transport.

The Brocade NetIron XMR Series includes the 4-slot NetIron XMR 4000, 8-slot NetIron XMR 8000, the 16-slot NetIron XMR 16000, and the 32-slot NetIron XMR 32000. The series offers industry-leading port capacity and density for both Carrier Ethernet and Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) with up

to 128 10-GbE, 640 1-GbE, 64 OC-192 (STM-64), or 256 OC-48 (STM-16) ports in a single chassis, high density router.
