Gen6 SAN Switch – Brocade G610 Series Network Device Adopting 24 Interface Design , Built In 16Gb Shortwave SFP+ Transceivers And Compact 1U Rack Installation

Elevate your small-to-medium data center storage networking with the Brocade G610 Series Gen6 SAN Switch — a compact, high-performance, and enterprise-grade Fibre Channel switching solution purpose-built for modern flash storage environments and mission-critical business workloads. Engineered to balance exceptional performance, flexible scalability, and space-saving deployment, this 1U rack-mount network device integrates a full 24-interface port configuration and pre-installed 16Gb shortwave SFP+ transceivers out of the box, delivering instant high-speed connectivity, ultra-low latency, and reliable 24/7 operation for virtualization, database, cloud backup, and NVMe flash storage applications. As a cost-effective Gen6 SAN infrastructure upgrade, it eliminates redundant hardware investment and simplifies SAN deployment for growing enterprise storage networks.

• Flash-Ready Gen6 High Performance: Optimized for all-flash storage arrays and NVMe workloads, the switch delivers industry-leading low-latency data transmission and high throughput, effectively eliminating performance bottlenecks for high-frequency data reading, writing, and replication. It perfectly adapts to bandwidth-intensive and latency-sensitive enterprise business scenarios, ensuring smooth operation of core business systems.
• Plug-and-Play Convenience with Built-in Transceivers: Pre-configured with 16Gb shortwave SFP+ transceivers, the device supports immediate deployment without additional transceiver procurement and assembly. This greatly shortens project implementation cycles, reduces hardware compatibility risks, and lowers overall network deployment and maintenance costs.
• Maximized Port Density & Flexible Scalability: Equipped with a full 24 SFP+ interface design in a slim 1U form factor, it provides outstanding port density for small and medium SAN environments. Supported by Brocade’s dynamic Ports on Demand (PoD) licensing technology, users can flexibly activate ports in 8-port increments (starting from 8 active ports up to full 24 ports), achieving on-demand scaling and avoiding resource waste.
• Space-Saving 1U Rack-Mount Design: The compact 1U rack-mounted structure saves valuable data center rack space, reduces power consumption and heat generation, and lowers equipment operation and cooling costs. It is ideal for space-constrained server rooms and compact data center cabinet deployments.
• Enterprise-Grade Reliability & Compatibility: Adopting mature Gen6 Fibre Channel technology, it supports multi-rate auto-negotiation and seamless backward compatibility with legacy 4G/8G/16G SAN devices. It enables smooth network iteration without overhauling existing infrastructure, protecting enterprise IT investment.
• Simplified Management & Intelligent Monitoring: Equipped with Brocade’s exclusive Fabric Vision® intelligent monitoring system and EZSwitchSetup one-click deployment tool, it simplifies SAN configuration, operation, and troubleshooting. It supports real-time fault detection, performance analysis, and link optimization, reducing manual maintenance pressure.

• Full 24-Port SFP+ Interface Configuration: Standard 24 universal SFP+ ports support shortwave, longwave, and extended longwave optical media, meeting diverse optical fiber connection and transmission distance requirements.
• Pre-Installed 16Gb Shortwave SFP+ Transceivers: Factory-built 16G SWL transceivers ensure stable high-speed short-distance transmission for in-rack and inter-cabinet storage connections.
• Multi-Rate Auto-Negotiation Technology: Ports support automatic rate adaptation of 4Gbps, 8Gbps, 16Gbps, and 32Gbps Fibre Channel, compatible with all mainstream generations of SAN storage devices and servers.
• Dynamic PoD Port Scaling: Flexible port activation via license upgrade allows incremental capacity expansion, matching business growth and improving resource utilization efficiency.
• Advanced Fabric Vision Technology: Provides real-time network visibility, proactive fault diagnosis, performance threshold alerting, and VM insight monitoring to ensure stable SAN fabric operation.
• Multiple Secure Management Mechanisms: Supports SSH, HTTPS, SNMP v3, RESTful API, and Brocade SANnav management platform, with DH-CHAP authentication, port binding, and access control functions to ensure network security.
• High-Efficiency ISL Load Balancing: Dynamic path selection technology supports up to 256Gbps ISL throughput, optimizing data transmission paths and improving overall network bandwidth utilization.
