Product Review

The Brocade NI-CES-2048F-AC offers a notable port density with 48x1G SFP ports, yet lacks 10G uplink capabilities, limiting its use in high-speed network environments. Its forwarding performance is solid at 96 Gbps with a packet forwarding rate of 71 Mpps, supported by a reasonable 128 MB buffer. However, the device's reliance on a single 500W AC power supply, despite the option for internal AC or DC with 1+1 redundancy, may raise concerns about power flexibility and redundancy in critical network setups.
