Brocade G730/G630 San Switch

System Architecture

Fibre Channel ports

96 SFP+ ports capable of operating at 4, 8, 16, 32G Fibre Channel auto-sensing speeds; 8 QSFP ports capable of operating at 4×32, 4×16, 4×8, 4×4G Fibre Channel speeds.
Offers a base configuration of 48 ports, two 24-port SFP+ PoD (Ports on Demand), and one 32-port QSFP PoD. The switch has a total of eight 32G QSFP ports. This allows users to grow from 48 ports to 128 ports. Supports F/E/EX_Port, M_Port, and D_Port types on the SFP+ ports and only F/E/EX_Port and D_Port types on the QSFP ports with Brocade Fabric OS® (FOS) v8.2.0.
