G8264

• Optimized for applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency
• Supports Virtual Fabric and OpenFlow
• Up to 64 10 Gb SFP+ ports in a 1U form factor
• Future-proofed with four 40 Gb QSFP+ ports

Designed with top performance in mind, the IBM RackSwitch G8264 and IBM RackSwitch G8264T are ideal for today’s big data, cloud and optimized workloads. Both are enterprise-class and full-featured data-center switches that deliver line-rate, high-bandwidth switching, filtering, and traffic queuing without delaying data. Large data-center grade buffers keep traffic moving. Redundant power and fans along with numerous high availability features equip the switches for business-sensitive traffic. The G8264 and G8264T support IBM VMready technology, an innovative, standards-based solution to manage virtual machines (VMs) in small to large-scale data center and cloud environments.

The RackSwitch G8264 is ideal for latency-sensitive applications such as high performance computing clusters and financial applications. The G8264 supports IBM Virtual Fabric to help clients reduce the number of I/O adapters to a single dual-port 10 Gb adapter, helping reduce the cost and complexity. The G8264 supports the newest protocols—including Data Center Bridging/Converged Enhanced Ethernet (DCB/CEE) for support of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), in addition to iSCSI and NAS.
