Product Overview
LENOVO RACKSWITCH G8264CS (FRONT TO REAR)
Many customers successfully use Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity from their servers to their LAN and SAN. These customers want to reduce the cost and complexity of these environments by using the capabilities of Ethernet and Fibre Channel convergence.
The Lenovo RackSwitch™ G8264CS top-of-rack switch offers the benefits of a converged infrastructure. As part of its forward-thinking design, this switch has the flexibility for growth and expansion. This switch is ideal for clients who want to connect to SANs and clients who want native Fibre Channel connectivity, in addition to support for such protocols as Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and iSCSI.
The RackSwitch G8264CS includes the following features:
- Lossless Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and FCoE in one switch
- A total of 36 SFP+ ports that support 1 Gb or 10 Gb Ethernet
- Flexibility with 12 Omni Ports that support 10 Gb Ethernet or 4/8 Gb Fibre Channel connections
- Can aggregate FC or FCoE traffic and connect to SANs
- Future-proofed with four 40 Gb QSFP+ ports
- Low cost, low complexity, and simpler deployment and management
- Customers who want to implement a converged infrastructure with FCoE where the G8264CS acts as a Full Fabric FC/FCoE switch for the end-to-end FCoE configurations or as a Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF) NPV Gateway that breaks out FC traffic for the native Fibre Channel SAN connectivity.
- Customers who are implementing a virtualized environment.
- Customers who require investment protection for 40 GbE network connectivity.
- Customers who want to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and improve performance while maintaining high levels of availability and security.
- Customers who want to avoid or minimize oversubscription, which can result in congestion and loss of performance
