Overview
The Brocade BR-DCX8510-8 is a highly scalable networking hardware solution designed to meet the demands of high-density, high-bandwidth Fibre Channel environments. It features eight vertical blade slots, which can support up to 384 16Gbps Fibre Channel ports, making it an ideal choice for large data centers and storage area networks. This 16U rackmount chassis delivers a total chassis bandwidth of 8.2 Tbps, including 2.048 Tbps of Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) bandwidth, ensuring high-speed data transfer and reliable connectivity across the network.
Each slot in the chassis is capable of a 512 Gbps data rate, with ICL bandwidth reaching 2.048 Tbps across 32 ports. These ICL ports effectively provide the equivalent bandwidth of 128 16 Gbps ports, with each port offering 64 Gbps bandwidth over a QSFP (4X16 Gbps) link. The switch's latency is impressively low at 700 ns, which minimizes delay and enhances performance for critical applications. The maximum frame size supported is a 2112-byte payload, with frame buffers of 8192 available per 16-port group on 32-port blades, ensuring efficient data handling and storage.
The chassis is equipped with two 2000 W AC power supply modules that feature 100 to 240 V auto-sensing capabilities and 2N redundancy for uninterrupted power supply. It also includes three blower assembly modules for cooling, ensuring the system operates within optimal temperature ranges even under heavy loads. Management of the system is facilitated through a 10/100/1000 Ethernet (RJ-45) per control processor, allowing for easy and efficient system management.

Product Review
The Brocade BR-DCX8510-8 offers a high-density solution with up to 384 16Gbps Fibre Channel ports in a 16U rackmount chassis, providing substantial bandwidth capabilities of 8.2 Tbps per chassis. This capacity is ideal for environments requiring high-speed data transfer and maximum performance scalability. However, the system's considerable size and weight, especially when fully populated, may pose challenges for deployment in space-constrained data centers. Additionally, the switch's port latency of 700 ns, while adequate for many applications, may not meet the ultra-low latency requirements of some high-performance computing environments.
