Product Review

The Brocade NI-CES-2024C-AC offers a solid port density with 24 1G RJ45 ports and an optional slot for 2x10G XFP uplinks, catering well to environments needing a mix of high-speed and legacy connections. However, the device's power redundancy is limited to a single internal AC or DC option, which may concern those seeking higher availability features. Additionally, its forwarding performance scales significantly with the addition of the 2x10G module, suggesting that full utilization of the device's capabilities requires further investment in these optional uplinks.

Overview

The Brocade NI-CES-2024C-AC is a networking switch designed for efficiency and scalability in enterprise environments. It features a configuration of 24x1G Copper (RJ45) ports, augmented by 4 combination 100/1000 SFP ports for fiber connectivity, allowing for a versatile setup that can adapt to various networking demands. This device supports an optional slot that can be utilized for 2x10G XFP uplinks, enhancing its capability to manage high-bandwidth connections. With a base forwarding performance of 48 Gbps, which increases to 88 Gbps when the 2x10G module is installed, the NI-CES-2024C-AC can handle substantial data throughput, ensuring smooth data flow across the network. Packet forwarding performance is equally impressive, starting at 36 Mpps and rising to 65 Mpps with the 2x10G module, indicating the device's ability to process millions of packets per second without bottleneck issues. Buffering capacity on the NI-CES-2024C-AC starts at 64 MB, doubling to 128 MB with the addition of 2x10G uplinks. This enhanced buffering allows for efficient handling of peak data loads, ensuring reliable data transmission even during periods of high network activity. The switch is equipped with an internal AC power supply, with options for power supply redundancy (1+1) and fan redundancy (M+N), underscoring its reliability and uptime in critical network operations. Its design supports front-to-back air flow, optimizing cooling and ensuring stable performance under various operating conditions.
  • Maximum AC and DC power consumption is capped at 120 watts, with a maximum thermal output of 410 BTU/hour, reflecting its energy-efficient design.
  • Dimensions are 17.44”w x 1.7”h x 17.64”d (44.3w x 4.4h x 44.8d cm), making it a compact solution for rack-mounted installations.
  • Supports jumbo frames up to 9,216 bytes, facilitating the efficient handling of large data packets and reducing overhead in high-performance computing environments.
Operating temperature ranges from 0° C to 40° C (32° F to 104° F), with a relative humidity tolerance of 5% to 90% at 40° C (104° F), non-condensing.
