BNT 1Gb/10Gb G8000 RackSwitch for IBM System x
IBM System x at-a-glance guide
BLADE Network Technologies' (BNT) 1Gb/10Gb G8000 RackSwitch for IBM® System x® (Figure 1) is a
Top of the Rack (TOR) switch that delivers unmatched line-rate Layer 2/3 performance at a very attractive
price. It has 44x 1GbE RJ45 ports, four 1G SFP ports, and standard redundant power supplies along with
up to four optional 10GbE SFP+ or CX4 ports. Unlike most rack equipment that cools from side to side,
the RackSwitch G8000 has rear-to-front airflow that matches server airflow.
