The NetApp® Brocade® FC32-64 Port Blade consists of scalable mechanical construction that provides installation, maintenance and fabric design flexibility. It delivers 32Gbps performance with 2.7 µs blade-to-blade latency and less than 900 ns switching latency to ensure fast and efficient data flow between storage infrastructures. The 48-port switch is scalable, allowing the Brocade X7 director to increase device ports to handle increased workloads and meet data growth demands. Using QSFP+ connectors to connect devices to the switch results in a 4-to-1 cabling reduction, which simplifies cable management and ensures seamless integration of the X7 director to a structured cabling system.
With proactive monitoring of traffic over NVM Express® (NVMe®), the NetApp Blade Brocade fiber channel switch allows administrators to delve deeper into the health and performance of the network. Automated monitoring and diagnostics technology like Beyond IO Insight, Brocade Fabric Vision technology and VM Insight streamline end-to-end management which is ideal for large-scale environments. Leverage the brocade global support to build efficient SAN infrastructure.
