IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8264 2
The RackSwitch supports Data Center Bridging (DCB), the group of protocols from IEEE that

provide lossless Ethernet and that allow clients to reduce the costs of implementing either:
NAS or iSCSI convergence and priority-based flow control
o
FCoE by aggregating switch ports before connecting to more costly upstream Fibre Channel
o
gateway devices.
IBM is a leader in network virtualization, offering the on-switch IBM VMready® software that

reduces the complexity of managing virtual machines (VMs) in the network. For more information,
see IBM VMready at:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/networking/software/vmready
The switch is OpenFlow enabled, which can make user-controlled virtual networks easy to create,

optimize performance dynamically, and minimize complexity when used with IBM Programmable
Network Controller. For more information, see IBM Programmable Network Controller at:

The G8264 plays a vital role with IBM Virtual Fabric, which reduces costs and complexity in

environments where four or more NICs are needed per server. An example is virtualization, where
clients often need up to eight NICs per server. For more information, see IBM Virtual Fabric at:

Part number information
Table 1 lists the part numbers for ordering IBM System x® and IBM Power Systems™ modules and
options. Products are ordered through IBM System x and IBM Storage and Power ordering systems.
Note: Transceivers are not included in the purchase of the switch and all transceivers require using
the appropriate cables.
