Product Review

The Brocade BR-VDX6740-24-FD offers significant switching bandwidth and performance capabilities, with a data rate of 1.28 Tbps and switch performance of 960 Mpps, making it suitable for high-demand environments. However, the switch's port-to-port latency of 850 ns may not meet the needs of applications requiring ultra-low latency. The inclusion of up to 64 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports and the flexibility to support up to 32 Fibre Channel Flex Ports out of these, alongside redundant power supplies and cooling, enhances its reliability and adaptability in diverse network configurations.

Overview

The Brocade BR-VDX6740-24-FD is a network switch designed to meet the demands of modern data centers, featuring high performance and scalability. This switch is equipped with 24 SFP+ ports and has the capability to expand up to 64 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports, providing flexibility in connectivity. Additionally, it supports up to 32 out of 64 10 GbE ports for 2/4/8/16 Gbps Fibre Channel Flex Ports, enhancing its versatility for various networking environments. With a 1U form factor, the switch has dimensions of 43.99 cm in width, 4.32 cm in height, and 40.99 cm in depth, and it weighs 8.66 kg. This compact size allows for efficient use of rack space in data centers. The hardware is designed for a switching bandwidth (data rate, full duplex) of 1.28 Tbps and delivers switch performance of 960 Mpps, ensuring high-speed data transmission and low latency of 850 ns port-to-port, which is critical for applications requiring rapid response times. The Brocade BR-VDX6740-24-FD also features four 40 GbE QSFP+ ports that can be utilized with a 10 GbE breakout cable for additional connectivity options. The availability of 10 GbE Ports on Demand (PoD) allows for scalable network growth, supporting increments of 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, or 64 ports based on the network's evolving needs. For reliability and uninterrupted operation, the switch is equipped with two hot-swappable, load-sharing power supplies and N+1 redundant cooling fans integrated into the power supplies. This design ensures a continuous operation even in the event of a component failure. The switch supports a maximum of 4,096 VLANs, catering to large-scale deployments and complex network segmentation requirements. Operating within a wide range of input voltage from 85 to 264 VAC nominal and an input line frequency of 50 to 60 Hz, the switch has a maximum current of 6 A at 100 VAC/60 Hz and a maximum power consumption of 110 W. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and can be stored in conditions ranging from -25°C to 70°C (-13°F to 158°F). Humidity levels are maintained at 10% to 85% non-condensing during operation and 10% to 90% non-condensing for non-operating and storage conditions, ensuring the durability of the hardware in various environmental conditions. Key features include: -
  • High switching bandwidth of 1.28 Tbps and switch performance of 960 Mpps.
  • Support for a wide range of port types and configurations, including 1/10 GbE SFP+ and 2/4/8/16 Gbps Fibre Channel Flex Ports.
  • Robust power and cooling redundancy with two hot-swappable, load-sharing power supplies and N+1 redundant cooling fans.
