EMC Brocade DS-6510 48-Port 48x 16Gb FC Fibre Channel SAN Switch 24-ports active

- Up to 48 auto-sensing ports of high-performance 16 Gbps technology in a single domain. Ports on Demand scaling from 24 to 36 or 48 ports. 2, 4, 8, and 16 Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch and router ports.
- 10 Gbps manual set capability on FC ports (requires the optional 10 Gigabit FCIP/Fibre Channel license).
- Universal ports self-configure as E, F, M, or D ports. EX_Ports can be activated on a per port basis with the optional Integrated Routing license.
- In-flight data compression and encryption on up to two ports provides efficient link utilization and security.
- Options for port side exhaust (default) or nonport side exhaust airflow for cooling.
- Virtual Fabric support to improve isolation between different VFs.
- Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) service, available with the optional Integrated Routing license provides improved scalability and fault isolation.
- FICON, FICON Cascading, and FICON Control Unit Port ready.
- Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable), which allows up to eight ports (at 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps speeds) between a pair of switches combined to form a single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 128 Gbps (256 Gbps full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
- Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric.
- Brocade-branded SFP+ optical transceivers that support any combination of Short Wavelength (SWL) and Long Wavelength (LWL) or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical media among the switch ports.
- Extended distance support enables native Fibre Channel extension up to 7,500 km at 2 Gbps.
- Support for unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data traffic types.
- Brocade Fabric OS, which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and enables a wide range of value-added applications including Brocade Advanced Web Tools and Brocade Zoning. Optional Fabric Services include: Adaptive Networking with QoS, Brocade Extended Fabrics, Brocade Enhanced Group Management, Brocade Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, and End-to-End Performance Monitoring (APM).
- Support for Access Gateway configuration where server ports connected to the fabric core will be virtualized.
- Hardware zoning is accomplished at the port level of the switch and by World Wide Name (WWN). Hardware zoning permits or denies delivery of frames to any destination port address.
- Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS).
- 10G Fibre Channel integration on the same port provides for DWDM metro connectivity on the same switch (can be done on first eight ports only).
- The Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard that makes SAN configuration a three-step point-and-click task.
- Real time power monitoring enables users to monitor real time power usage of the fabric at a switch level.
- Port-to-port latency minimized to 800 nanoseconds through the use of cut-through frame routing at 16 Gbps

- 1U, non-port side front-to-back exhaust airflow, power from back
Dual, hot-swappable redundant power supplies with integrated system cooling fans
