The new-generation FS8600 series fiber switch is a purpose-built network infrastructure for mission-critical storage services. The Fiber Channel technology and feature deliver unmatched 32 Gbps performance to meet the needs of hyper-scale virtualization, larger cloud infrastructures, and growing flash-based storage environments. FS8600 offers high-density with great scalability. It can be used in enterprise infrastructures of all sizes to support growth, demanding workloads, and data center consolidation for uninterrupted business operations.
Hardware Feature | Number of ports per switch: • In a 1U space, the switch can be expanded from 24 ports to a maximum of 64 ports, including 48 SFP+ ports (with an increment of 12) and 4 Q-Flex ports. Each of the 48 SFP+ ports supports an FC speed of 8/16/32 Gbps and each of the 4 Q-Flex ports supports an FC speed of 4 × 32 Gbps • Supports multiple FC protocols such as 32 Gb and 16 Gb • Adaptive Trunking, intelligent path selection • All ports are universal, auto-discovery, and self-configured, presenting the following port status: E_Port, F_Port, M_Port, D_Port, N_Port |
Performance Feature | Fabric port speed • 32/16 Gbps, with all ports being auto-negotiation ports • Fabric latency: ≤ 700 ns • Cut-through routing fabric: point-to-point bandwidth Aggregate bandwidth • Up to 2 Tbps per switch, end-to-end full duplex • Non-blocking architecture |
Software Feature | Visualized GUI: • LEDs for key components, web-based management interface, and fault location message Multiple management methods: • Telnet, HTTP, SNMP v1/v3 (FE MIB, FC Management MIB); auditing, syslog, change management tracking; SMI-S compliant; SMI-S script toolkit, administrative domains; trial licenses for add-on capabilities |
Physical Feature | • Power supply: 90 VAC to 264 VAC, with a current of 3.5 A • Power consumption: Up to 204 W with 64 × 32 Gbps port (full configuration), 85 W when the chassis is empty without optical modules • Dimensions (W × H × D): 1U, 43 × 44 × 355 mm (1.69 × 1.73 × 13.98 in.) • Weight: 7.73 kg (17.04 lbs), without SFP+ media |
