Overview

The Brocade BR-VDX6940-144S-AC-R is a high-capacity, scalable, and flexible networking solution designed to meet the demands of modern data centers. This switch provides a comprehensive array of features to enhance connectivity, manageability, and operational efficiency. At its core, the Brocade VDX 6940-144S features 96 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports for high-speed data transfer, accommodating the increasing need for bandwidth in data-intensive environments. The flexibility of the system is further enhanced by the inclusion of up to 12 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ uplink ports and up to 4 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 ports, allowing for scalable interconnectivity and future-proofing of the network infrastructure. Power efficiency and reliability are assured with two AC power supplies included, ensuring uninterrupted operation and redundancy. The system’s port-side exhaust airflow design aids in maintaining optimal operating temperatures, contributing to its reliability and longevity.
  • Network Ports: 96x 10 GbE SFP+
  • Uplink Ports: 12x 40 GbE QSFP+
  • Management Ports: OOB RJ-45, 1x RS-232, 1x USB
For maintenance and system health monitoring, the switch is equipped with four replaceable fan modules, supporting a front-to-back airflow direction that complements the cooling strategies in most data centers. This design ensures efficient heat dissipation, protecting the system from overheating and potential damage. The Brocade VDX 6940-144S boasts a switching capacity of 2.88 Terabits per second and a forwarding rate of 2.16 Billion packets per second, indicating its capability to handle large volumes of data with minimal latency, marked at 800 nanoseconds. This performance level ensures swift data processing and transfer, minimizing delays and enhancing overall network efficiency. With a MAC address table size of 112,000, the switch can easily manage a vast network of devices, making it suitable for large-scale deployments. Its design is optimized for rack mounting, occupying only 2U of rack space, an important consideration for space-constrained data centers. The operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and non-operating temperature range of -25°C to 70°C (-13°F to 158°F) ensure that the switch remains operational under various environmental conditions. Humidity resilience is also notable, with the device operating effectively in 10% to 85% non-condensing environments and withstanding non-operating humidity levels of 10% to 90%. Designed to operate at altitudes of up to 3,048 meters (10,000 feet) and withstand non-operating altitudes up to 12 kilometers (39,370 feet), the Brocade VDX 6940-144S is suited for deployment in a wide range of geographical locations and environmental conditions. In summary, the Brocade BR-VDX6940-144S-AC-R emerges as a comprehensive solution for data centers in need of high-speed connectivity, robust performance, and scalability. Its blend of high-density port configuration, advanced management features, and environmental resilience makes it an ideal choice for organizations looking to optimize their network infrastructure for current and future demands.
