Business Benefits
• High performance - The 10G Low Latency
Switch provides the best combination of extremely
low latency, non-blocking line-rate switching and
ease of management.
• Reduced TCO - A combination of 10G CX-4 and
SFP+ ports provides the flexibility needed for
10GbE networking at a very affordable price.
• Deployment Flexibility - Front-to-rear cooling for
server racks and Rear-to-front cooling for rear-
facing applications like storage enclosures.
• Better Cooling - The RackSwitch G8100
improves cooling efficiency which reduces air
conditioning power consumption and helps avoid
potential reliability concerns as a result of the heat
issues associated with side cooled switches.
• Interoperability - Software is based on Internet
standards for optimal interoperability with Cisco®
or other vendors’ networks.
• Easy Server Provisioning - ServerMobility™
enables simple bare-metal provisioning of servers
and repurposing of standby servers.
