IBM System Storage SAN40B-4 System
The IBM System Storage™ SAN40B-4 SAN fabric switch has 24, 32 or 40 active ports. It’s designed for high performance, 8 Gbps link speeds, and backward compatibility to support links running at 4, 2 and 1 Gbps link speeds. The high availability features make it suitable for use as a core switch in midrange environments. It can also be used in the enterprise environment, where a wide range of SAN infrastructure simplification and business continuity configurations are possible. IBM POWER Systems, System x, System z and many non-IBM disk and tape devices are supported.
1U 19" packaging designed for rack-mount or table-top.
Designed for high-performance. 8 Gigabit per second (Gbps) fibre channel ports (requires storage hardware that supports 8 Gbps throughput). Speed auto-sensing capabilities provide backward compatibility with 4, 2, and 1 Gbps fibre channel links.
- Supports 8, 4, and 2 Gbps link speeds or 4, 2, and 1 Gbps link speeds depending on which optical transceivers (SFPs) are used.
- Shortwave and longwave SFPs with different speeds can be intermixed in the same switch to meet unique requirements.
- Full Fabric operation and Universal Port Operation are available on all ports
