Overview

The Brocade NA-360-0008 is a high-performance networking hardware designed for efficient data center management and optimized data transfer. This device is equipped with advanced features that cater to the demands of modern networks. It supports Fibre Channel ports with configurations of 8, 16, and 24 ports. These ports can be expanded in increments of 8 through Ports On Demand licenses, providing flexibility in network design and expansion. The switch operates in default mode, offering universal port types including E, F, M, and FL ports. The Access Gateway Default Port Mapping includes 16 F_Ports and 8 N_Ports, ensuring versatile connectivity options for various network requirements. This device is built for scalability, capable of integrating into a full fabric architecture with a maximum of 239 switches. It supports a single Brocade FOS fabric with up to 56 domains and 19 hops, and a single Brocade M-Enterprise OS (M-EOS) fabric with 31 domains and 3 hops, facilitating extensive network expansion without compromising efficiency. The Brocade NA-360-0008 boasts an aggregate bandwidth of 192 Gbps, achieved by multiplying its 24 ports by an 8 Gbps data rate. This high bandwidth capacity ensures swift data transfer across the network. The maximum fabric latency is remarkably low at 700 ns with no contention, utilizing cut-through routing at 8 Gbps. This feature significantly reduces delay, enhancing overall network performance.
  • Maximum frame size supported is 2112-byte payload.
  • It has 700 dynamically allocated frame buffers, with a maximum of 484 per port.
  • Supports Class 2, Class 3, and Class F (inter-switch frames) classes of service.
The device accommodates various data traffic types including unicast, multicast (supporting up to 255 groups), and broadcast, making it versatile for different networking needs. The 8 Gbps speed requires Brocade hot-pluggable SFP+ with LC connectors, available in both short-wavelength laser (SWL) and long-wavelength laser, the distance of which depends on the fiber-optic cable and port speed. Physically, the Brocade NA-360-0008 measures 42.88 cm in width, 4.29 cm in height, and 30.66 cm in depth, with a system weight of 4.2 kg without SFP/SFP+ media. It also includes 1 USB port for additional connectivity. The operating temperature range is from 0°C to 40°C, and non-operating and storage temperature range is from -25°C to 70°C. Humidity tolerance is 10% to 85% non-condensing when operating and 10% to 95% non-condensing for non-operating and storage. The device can operate at altitudes up to 3000 meters, and be stored at up to 12 km, catering to various installation environments. In summary, the Brocade NA-360-0008 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern data centers, offering scalable, high-performance networking capabilities. Its support for various port configurations, bandwidth capacity, and environmental adaptability makes it a reliable choice for advancing network infrastructure.

Product Review

The Brocade NA-360-0008 offers flexible port configurations, supporting 8-, 16-, and 24-port setups with the ability to expand through Ports On Demand licenses, accommodating various network sizes and demands. However, its scalability is limited within a single fabric, supporting up to 56 domains and a maximum of 19 hops in a Brocade FOS fabric, which may restrict large-scale deployments. With an aggregate bandwidth of 192 Gbps across 24 ports, it provides substantial data throughput, but the maximum fabric latency of 700 ns at 8 Gbps could be a bottleneck in high-performance environments requiring lower latency.
