Brocade Fiber Switch G730 San Gen7 Enterprise 8 192T Flash Storage
Brocade Fiber Switch G730 San Gen7 Enterprise 8 192T Flash Storage
Product Description
The Brocade G730 is a Gen 7 enterprise‑class SAN switch delivering 8.192 Tb/s total bandwidth and 460 ns latency (including FEC) for flash storage and NVMe workloads. It scales from 48 to 128 ports (96 SFP+ + 16 SFP‑DD) via Dynamic‑POD, supporting auto‑sensing speeds from 8G to 64G. With dual 1100W hot‑swap redundant PSUs, 3 hot‑swap fans, and support for up to 239 switches in a fabric (4,000 certified nodes), the G730 is built for high‑density, mission‑critical SAN environments.
