Product Review

The Brocade NA-6505-12-16G-0R offers 24 x 16Gb SFP ports with 12 active ports and dual hot-swap power supplies, catering to high availability and redundancy needs in enterprise networks. However, the lack of included rack mounting kit and module expansion slots may limit installation flexibility and future scalability. Performance-wise, the device promises low latency (700 ns for locally switched ports) and supports Fabric Vision License on Fabric OS, enhancing network monitoring and management capabilities, though the addition of Forward Error Correction (FEC) may slightly increase latency between E_Ports.

Overview

The Brocade NA-6505-12-16G-0R is a high-performance networking solution designed for data center environments that require efficient, high-speed data transfer and connectivity. It features 24 x 16Gb SFP ports with 12 active ports, catering to demanding data and storage networking environments.

It operates with normal airflow direction from IO to PSU, aligning with standard data center cooling practices. At the heart of the NA-6505-12-16G-0R is the Fabric OS, providing a robust and intuitive operating system designed for high availability and simplified management. This switch comes pre-installed with a Fabric Vision License, offering advanced diagnostic and monitoring capabilities to preemptively identify and solve network issues before they impact operations. Management of the device can be conducted via web or console, offering flexibility for different operational preferences. The chassis is designed for 1U rack-mount compatibility, although it should be noted that rack rails are not included with the unit. The physical dimensions of the switch are 437.64 mm in width, 43.18 mm in height, and 443.23 mm in depth, making it a compact solution that fits easily into a standard data center rack space. For connectivity, the NA-6505-12-16G-0R supports Fibre Channel with a 2.125 Gbps line speed, ensuring fast and reliable data transmission. The switch's performance is further enhanced by a low-latency architecture, with locally switched ports exhibiting a latency of just 700 ns. Forward Error Correction (FEC) is enabled by default, adding an additional 400 ns between E_Ports to ensure data integrity and error-free transmission. Key hardware specifications include: - Maximum frame size of 2112 byte payload. - Frame buffers dynamically allocated up to 8192. - Brocade hot-pluggable SFP+ with LC connector, supporting 16 Gbps SWL, LWL, ELWL. Additional features include one USB port for system log file downloads or firmware upgrades, enhancing the maintainability of the device. For management access, the switch is equipped with a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port (RJ-45), allowing for network management and configuration. In terms of weight, the switch is 7.82 kg with one power supply unit and without transceivers, and 9.16 kg with two power supply FRUs installed, also without transceivers. This highlights the device's lightweight design, considering its powerful capabilities and dual power supply configuration. Overall, the Brocade NA-6505-12-16G-0R offers a powerful, scalable, and reliable solution for data center networking, combining high-speed data transfer capabilities with advanced management and diagnostic features. Its compact 1U form factor and dual power supply design make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their data center operations and ensure high availability of critical network resources.
