Blade Network RackSwitch G8124

Blade Network RackSwitch G8124 ... easier network solution.

The RackSwitch G8124 is "Virtual" - for the first time providing rack-level virtualization of networking interfaces for a rack full of server and storage systems - decoupling the scaling of networking and computing capacity via on-switch SmartConnect software. Patent-pending VMReady extensions enable movement of virtual machines - providing matching movement of VLAN assignments, ACLs, and other networking and security settings.

The RackSwitch G8124 is "Cooler" - implementing server-like directional cooling to maximize datacenter layout and provisioning. Its superior airflow design complements the hot-aisle and cold-aisle data center cooling model.

The RackSwitch G8124 is "Easier" with server-oriented provisioning via point-and-click management interfaces, along with BLADEHarmony Manager for updating large groups of switches.

The low latency offered by the RackSwitch G8124 makes it ideal for latency sensitive applications such as clusters and financial applications. And the G8124 supports the newest protocols - including Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) for support of Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).

The RackSwitch G8124 offers 24 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a 1 RU footprint. Designed with top performance in mind, the RackSwitch G8124 provides line-rate, high-bandwidth switching, filtering, and traffic queuing without delaying data, and large data-center grade buffers to keep traffic moving.
