Product Review

The Brocade BR-6505-12-16G-0R offers a solid switching capacity of 384 Gbps and low latency of 700 nanoseconds, which are critical for high-performance networking environments. However, it comes with only one power supply installed by default, despite having slots for two, which could be a potential single point of failure for critical network infrastructure. Additionally, while the switch supports up to 24x 16 Gigabit Fiber Channel SFP+ ports, only 12 are active out of the box, limiting initial port availability without further investment.

Overview

The Brocade BR-6505-12-16G-0R is a fiber channel switch designed to support high-speed network connections and efficient data transfer across storage area networks (SANs). This device is equipped with 24x 16 Gigabit Fiber Channel SFP+ ports, with 12 active out-of-the-box and the capability to activate additional ports as needed. This flexibility allows for scalable network configurations that can adapt to varying demands. Included with the switch is one hot-swap redundant power supply, ensuring continuous operation and minimizing downtime in case of a power supply failure. The unit has slots for two power supplies, providing an option for enhanced redundancy. The power supply includes an internal fan cooling system, maintaining optimal operating conditions within the switch. For management and connectivity, the BR-6505 features a variety of ports including 1x Fast Ethernet (RJ-45) for network management, 1x Serial port (RJ-45), and 1x USB (Type A) for local console access and firmware updates. This range of connectivity options ensures that administrators can efficiently manage the switch using their preferred method. The hardware specifications of the BR-6505 facilitate high-performance operations with a switching capacity of 384 Gbps and a latency of 700 nanoseconds. This performance level is suitable for environments that demand quick data access and real-time data processing. The switch also supports a maximum frame size of 2112 byte payload and has 8192 dynamically allocated frame buffers, enhancing its ability to handle large volumes of data without compromising speed or integrity. The physical attributes of the switch include a 1U rack-mountable design with integrated system cooling fans that follow a back-to-front airflow pattern. This configuration ensures efficient heat dissipation and maintains the hardware at an optimal temperature during operation. The dimensions of the switch are 437.64 mm in width, 43.18 mm in height, and 443.23 mm in depth, making it compact enough to fit in standard data center racks while providing ample port density. The operating environment for the BR-6505 is designed to be flexible, with a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and a humidity range of 10% to 85% (non-condensing). This allows the switch to perform reliably in a wide range of data center conditions. Additionally, the switch can operate at altitudes of up to 3000 m (9843 ft), offering versatility for deployment in various geographical locations. Key highlights include: -
  • 12x 16 Gbps SW optics transceiver modules included, ensuring out-of-the-box high-speed connectivity.
  • Integrated system cooling with back-to-front airflow, promoting efficient heat management.
  • Support for port speeds of 2, 4, 8, and 16 Gbps, accommodating diverse network speed requirements.
In terms of weight, the system weighs 7.82 kg (17.25 lb) with one power supply and without transceivers. If a second power supply is installed, the weight increases slightly to 9.16 kg (20.19 lb), still maintaining a manageable form factor for installation and maintenance. Overall, the Brocade BR-6505-12-16G-0R offers a combination of high-speed connectivity, flexible management options, and reliable performance, making it a suitable choice for businesses looking to enhance their SAN infrastructure.
