Benefits
The IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8124E offers the following benefits:
High performance: The 10G Low Latency (as low as 570 nanoseconds) switch provides the best
combination of extremely low latency, non-blocking line-rate switching and ease of management.
Lower power and better cooling : The G8124E uses as little power as two 60 W light bulbs, which
is a fraction of the power consumption of most competitive offerings. Unlike side-cooled switches,
which can cause heat recirculation and reliability concerns, the G8124E rear-to-front cooling
design reduces data center air conditioning costs by having airflow match the servers in the rack.
In addition, variable speed fans assist in automatically reducing power consumption.
Virtual Fabric can help customers address I/O requirements for multiple NICs while also helping
reduce cost and complexity. Virtual Fabric for IBM allows for the carving up of a physical NIC into
multiple virtual NICs (2 - 8 vNICs) and creates a virtual pipe between the adapter and the switch
for improved performance, availability, and security while reducing cost and complexity.
VM aware Networking : VMready software on the switch helps reduce configuration complexity
while significantly improving security levels in virtualized environments. VMready automatically
detects virtual machine movement from one physical server to another, and instantly reconfigures
each VM’s network policies across VLANs to keep the network up and running without interrupting
traffic or impacting performance. VMready works with all leading VM providers such as VMware,
Citrix, Xen, IBM PowerVM
®
, and Microsoft.
