Product Review

The Brocade NI-CER-2024C-AC offers a solid port density with 24×1 GbE RJ45 ports and the flexibility of four combination 100/1000 SFP ports, catering well to environments requiring a mix of fiber and copper connections. However, the optional 2×10 GbE slot, while providing a path for network expansion, may not suffice for high-density environments looking to future-proof their infrastructure. Performance-wise, the switch delivers up to 88 Gbps forwarding performance with the 2×10 GbE module installed, but its single power supply and lack of power supply redundancy could be a concern for critical applications requiring higher availability.

Overview

The Brocade NI-CER-2024C-AC is a networking switch designed to meet the demands of modern data centers and enterprise networks. It provides a high level of port density and performance capabilities to support a wide range of applications and workloads. This device includes 24×1 GbE copper (RJ45) ports and four combination 100/1000 SFP ports for flexible connectivity options. Additionally, there is an optional slot for a 2×10 GbE module, allowing for uplink expansion to accommodate growing network demands. The switch is equipped with a 500 W AC power supply, ensuring reliable power delivery for all connected devices. The port density of the NI-CER-2024C-AC includes 24 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports. These ports support auto-negotiation, allowing them to automatically select the best speed and duplex mode for connected devices. The optional slot for 2×10 GbE XFP uplinks provides the ability to increase throughput for data-intensive applications.
  • Forwarding performance of 48 Gbps, which increases to 88 Gbps with the 2×10 GbE module installed.
  • Packet forwarding performance of 36 Mpps (million packets per second), scaling up to 65 Mpps with the 2×10 GbE module.
  • Buffering capacity of 64 MB, which doubles to 128 MB with the addition of 2×10 GbE uplinks.
Power supply options for the NI-CER-2024C-AC include an internal AC or DC power supply, with support for 1+1 power supply redundancy. This feature ensures continuous operation in the event of a power supply failure. Fan redundancy is also supported with an M+N configuration, providing additional reliability and uptime by automatically compensating for fan failures. Airflow for this device is designed from front to back, optimizing cooling efficiency for rack-mounted configurations. The maximum power consumption is 135 Watts, whether using AC or DC power, with a maximum thermal output of 461 BTU/hour. This efficient power usage helps minimize operational costs and heat output in the data center. The dimensions of the NI-CER-2024C-AC are 17.4 inches in width, 1.7 inches in height, and 17.6 inches in depth, making it a compact solution that fits easily into standard racks. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), with a non-operating temperature range of –25°C to 70°C (–13°F to 158°F). Humidity tolerance is 5% to 90% at 40°C (104°F) when operating and up to 95% in non-operating conditions, both non-condensing. The switch can operate up to an altitude of 10,000 feet and can be stored at up to 15,000 feet. The Brocade NI-CER-2024C-AC is designed for organizations needing a scalable, high-performance networking solution. With its combination of port density, performance capabilities, and redundancy features, this switch is well-suited to support the diverse and growing needs of modern network environments.
