Fibre Channel Switch – Brocade G620 Device With 24 Activated Ports , Built In 16Gbps SW SFP+ Modules For Professional SAN Infrastructure
The Brocade BR-G620-24-16G-F is an enterprise-grade Gen 6 Fibre Channel (FC) switch purpose-built for high-performance storage area networks (SANs), mid-sized data center deployments, and legacy-to-modern storage infrastructure upgrades. This 1U rack-mountable unit delivers industry-proven reliability, low-latency performance, and flexible port licensing, making it the perfect fit for organizations scaling their storage connectivity without overprovisioning.
This model comes pre-configured with 24 active 16Gbps ports, 24 included 16G Shortwave (SW) SFP+ transceivers, and a 64-port total chassis capacity for future on-demand expansion. It features port-side intake airflow for optimized thermal management in hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center designs, paired with redundant hot-swappable power supplies to ensure maximum uptime for mission-critical storage workloads.
- Balanced SAN Performance: Perfect for connecting hybrid storage arrays, mid-range disk systems, and virtualized server environments with consistent 16Gbps throughput.
- Investment Protection: Start with 24 active ports and expand up to 64 ports via simple software licensing, no forklift hardware upgrade required.
- Data Center-Optimized Thermal Design: Port-side intake airflow aligns perfectly with standard hot-aisle/cold-aisle deployments, improving cooling efficiency and reducing operational costs.
- Enterprise-Grade Reliability: Redundant power supplies, hot-swappable field-replaceable components, and Brocade’s industry-leading Fabric OS deliver 99.999% uptime for critical workloads.
- Seamless Integration: Supports FICON for mainframe environments and Access Gateway mode for simplified fabric management and reduced oversubscription.
- Space & Power Efficiency: 1U compact form factor and low power consumption reduce rack space usage and power draw in dense data center deployments.
