Benefits
The IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8264 offers the following benefits:
High performance
The 10 Gb/40 Gb switch provides the best combination of low latency, non-blocking line-rate
switching, and ease of management. It has a throughput of 1.28 Tbps.
Lower power and better cooling
The IBM RackSwitch G8264 uses as little as 330 W of power, 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 front-to-rear or rear-to-front cooling design of
the G8264 reduces data center air conditioning costs by having airflow match the servers in
the rack. In addition, variable speed fans help to automatically reduce power consumption.
Stacking
With the G8264, a single switch image and configuration file can be used for up to eight
switches, sharing only one IP address and one management interface.
Virtual Fabric
The G8264 can help customers address I/O requirements for multiple NICs while reducing
cost and complexity. Virtual Fabric for IBM allows you to carve a physical NIC into multiple
virtual NICs (between 2 - 8 vNIC) and to create a virtual pipe between the adapter and the
