RackSwitch G8264

The BLADE Network Technologies RackSwitch G8264 is a 10 and 40GbE switch specifically designed for the data center, providing speed, intelligence and interoperability on a proven platform. The RackSwitch G8264 offers up to 64 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet and up to 4 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports with 1.2 Terabits per second throughput in a 1 RU footprint.

Designed with top performance in mind, the RackSwitch G8264 provides line-rate, high-bandwidth switching, filtering, and traffic queuing without delaying data. Large data-center grade buffers to keep traffic moving. Redundant power and fans along with numerous high availability features ensure that the RackSwitch G8264 is always available for business-sensitive traffic.

The low latency offered by the RackSwitch G8264 makes it ideal for latency sensitive applications such as high performance computing clusters and financial applications. The G8264 supports the latest protocols – including Data Center Bridging / Converged Enhanced Ethernet (DCB/CEE) for support of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).
