Description
The ThinkSystem DB610S delivers enterprise-class Gen 6 FC performance in a 1U form factor, enabling organizations to start with 8 ports and grow to 24 via Ports on Demand licenses.
Each SFP+ port auto-senses 4/8/16/32 Gbps speeds, while advanced cut-through switching ensures sub-microsecond latency (≤900 ns) for flash-ready workloads.
Built-in Brocade Fabric Vision® with IO Insight and VM Insight provides non-intrusive monitoring, proactive alerts, and rapid root-cause diagnostics.
Key Features
- Compact 1U rack-mount with up to 24 SFP+ ports (4–32 Gbps) and PoD scalability from 8 to 24.
- Gen 6 Fibre Channel ASIC with up to 566 Mfps throughput and ≤900 ns port-to-port latency.
- Fabric Vision® analytics: IO Insight & VM Insight for deep SAN visibility and proactive monitoring.
- Easy setup via EZSwitch wizard and Access Gateway mode for simplified deployment.
