Brocade Fiber Switch 64Gbps X7 4 San Director Enterprise Backbone

Brocade Fiber Switch 64Gbps X7 4 San Director Enterprise Backbone

Product Description

The Brocade X7-4 Director is a Gen 7 (64G) enterprise SAN backbone switch purpose‑built for NVMe storage and high‑transaction workloads. Housed in an 8U chassis with 8 open blade slots, it scales to 256 ports at 64G (or 512 ports at 32G) with 19.8 Tb/s total chassis bandwidth and 460 ns latency (including FEC). Featuring a non‑blocking shared memory architecture, fully redundant hot‑swap components (controller, power, fans, blades), and dual 3000W 1+1 redundant PSUs, the X7-4 delivers carrier‑grade reliability for mission‑critical data centers.
