Brocade 1K4W5-BUNDLE M6505 24x 16Gb Fibre Channel Switch Module

Description

The Brocade 1K4W5-BUNDLE represents a complete solution for deploying high-density, high-performance Fibre Channel switching within blade server environments. The core of this bundle is the Brocade M6505 switch module, which offers 24 dedicated Fibre Channel ports, each operating at a blazing 16Gbps speed. This configuration is designed to provide robust and scalable connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs), ensuring that critical storage traffic can be handled with minimal latency and maximum throughput. This switch module is engineered for integration into chassis-based systems, such as Cisco UCS (Unified Computing System) blade servers, where space and power efficiency are paramount. By consolidating switching functions within the blade chassis, the M6505 reduces the need for external SAN switches, simplifying cabling and management while improving overall network density. The 16Gbps port speed ensures that even the most demanding storage applications, including high-transaction databases and virtualized environments, receive the necessary bandwidth. The Brocade M6505 is equipped with advanced fabric services and management capabilities, allowing for sophisticated network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. It supports features like zoning, fabric security, and performance analytics, which are essential for maintaining a secure, reliable, and efficient SAN. The 'BUNDLE' designation suggests that this offering may include additional components or licensing required for a full deployment, making it a convenient package for organizations looking to enhance their storage infrastructure.
