Product Review

The Brocade NI-CER-2024F-RT-DC offers a solid base of 24x1 GbE SFP ports with the flexibility of adding an optional 2x10 GbE uplink module, catering to networks needing both standard and enhanced throughput capabilities. However, the unit comes with a single 500W DC power supply, lacking built-in redundancy which could be a critical shortfall in environments demanding high availability. Additionally, while it supports up to 88 Gbps forwarding performance with the 10 GbE module, the non-expandable 64 MB to 128 MB buffer size may limit performance under heavy traffic loads, potentially impacting data-intensive applications.

Overview

The Brocade NI-CER-2024F-RT-DC is a networking switch designed for high-density environments requiring efficient and reliable data transfer. It features 24×1 GbE Hybrid Fiber (HF) SFP ports along with four combination 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports. This configuration offers flexibility in connecting a variety of devices, from servers to storage systems, across a network infrastructure. One of the key characteristics of this switch is the option to expand its capabilities through an additional 2×10 GbE slot, which accommodates XFP uplinks. This optional feature allows for significant bandwidth expansion, catering to environments where data throughput and speed are critical. The switch comes equipped with a 500 W DC power supply, ensuring stable operation even in demanding situations. Performance-wise, the NI-CER-2024F-RT-DC delivers forwarding performance of 48 Gbps, which can be enhanced to 88 Gbps with the installation of the 2×10 GbE module. Packet forwarding performance stands at 36 Mpps, escalating to 65 Mpps with the 2×10 GbE module. This level of performance ensures smooth data transmission across the network, minimizing delays and bottlenecks. The switch's buffering capacity is another highlight, with 64 MB available, doubling to 128 MB with the 2×10 GbE uplinks. This feature is crucial for managing data flow and preventing packet loss during high traffic periods. Power supply options include internal AC or DC, with 1+1 redundancy for enhanced reliability. Furthermore, the switch features M+N fan redundancy, ensuring continuous operation by preventing overheating. Airflow is designed from front to back, optimizing cooling in standard rack setups. Regarding power consumption, the maximum for both AC and DC configurations is 160 Watts, with a thermal output of 546 BTU/hour. These specifications ensure that the switch operates efficiently, minimizing energy costs and heat generation. The physical dimensions of the NI-CER-2024F-RT-DC are 17.4 in. W × 1.7 in. H × 17.6 in. D, making it a compact solution for rack-mounted environments. It operates optimally within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and can withstand non-operating temperatures from –25°C to 70°C. Humidity tolerance is set at 5% to 90% at 40°C for operating conditions, ensuring reliability even in varied environmental conditions. For non-operating storage, the maximum relative humidity is 95%, non-condensing. The switch can operate at altitudes up to 10,000 ft, with a non-operating maximum of 15,000 ft. This feature ensures consistent performance across various installation sites, from data centers to remote office locations. Key specifications include: -
