Switches for NEC SIGMABLADE
BLADE SWITCHES
Switches for NEC SIGMABLADE
Introducing switches for NEC SIGMABLADE H and M chassis. These switches work with
the NEC Express5800 blade servers, and the NEC SIGMABLADE enclosure models.
About NEC SIGMABLADE
The NEC blade server system, SIGMABLADE, is designed to enable high-density
system integration and cost optimization in your increasingly complex and expanding
enterprise systems. They serve as a core platform for your technology infrastructure
in today’s competitive business environment. With the main server functions
contained in their board-shaped slim form factors, the NEC server blades provide
outstanding memory and I/O scalabilities, along with high processing power for
robust server performance. The enclosures pack multiple server blades, realizing a
space-efcient system environment, without any cabling complexity, and help reduce
your management and maintenance costs.
Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, and Fibre
Channel Blade Switches for NEC
SIGMABLADE H and M Chassis
» Advanced networking features
» Lowest power consumption
» Interoperability with Cisco® and other network
vendors
» Lowest cost compared to patch panels with
external switches
» Fewest cables
» Easy integration with common network
management systems
NEC 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch
The NEC 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch provides line-rate Layer 2
switching to the NEC SIGMABLADE H or M blade server system
while minimizing the number of cables required to connect the
enclosure to the network. It can be deployed in pairs for high
availability and maximum uplink bandwidth.
NEC 10Gb Intelligent L3 Switch
The NEC 10Gb Intelligent Layer 3 Switch provides four 10Gb
Ethernet uplinks and 16 10Gb connections to server blades
in the NEC SIGMABLADE H or M blade server system. This
switch features all the robust layer 2 and Layer 3 features of
the NEC 1Gb Intelligent L3 switch, plus the following:
• 400 Gbps of switching capacity for today’s bandwidth-
intensive server virtualization workloads
• 10G Ethernet reduces network complexity, cable management
and troubleshooting caused by aggregation of 1Gb links
• Much lower power consumption than typical standalone
10Gb switches
4G FC switch (12 & 24 ports)
• High Speed switching function
• Auto routing function
• Cascade connection of 4G FC Switches
• Zoning function
NEC 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch
The NEC 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch provides the all the same robust
features as the NEC 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch, plus the following:
• Layer 3 static and dynamic routing protocols for network
security, exibility, and bandwidth conservation
• High availability based on Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol
• SFP Fiber uplink ports
