The Ruckus ICX 7850 series meets the evolving demands of modern campus networks when there's a growing need for high-performance core switches capable of supporting the next generation of 100G connectivity. Factors like increased device counts, greater bandwidth requirements, and the surge in wireless traffic driven by advanced Wi-Fi standards like 802.11ac and 802.11ax are prompting the shift from 1GbE to Multigigabit at the access level. Consequently, there's a demand for faster networks at the aggregation and core levels, with workgroups and data center servers transitioning from 1GbE to 10GbE Copper or 25GbE Fiber, often coupled with 100GbE uplinks to meet the demands of modern applications.
