FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY BX Ethernet Switch/IBP
10Gbit/s 18/8
High Performance LAN and SAN End-to-End
FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY systems provide the
most powerful and exible data center solutions
for companies of all sizes, across all industries
and for any type of workload. This includes
expandable PRIMERGY tower servers for remote
and branch ofces, versatile rack-mount servers,
compact and scalable blade systems, as well as
density-optimized scale-out servers. They convince
by business proven quality with a wide range of
innovations, highest efciency cutting operational
cost and complexity, and provide more agility in
daily operations in order to turn IT faster into a
business advantage.
FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY BX blade systems
are the perfect platform to build a converged
infrastructure designed to reduce IT costs, time
and efforts. PRIMERGY Blade Servers utilizes a
modular architecture and contain in addition to
the compute power, all required infrastructure and
network components, storage capacity as well as
management modules that helps companies to
simplify their infrastructure, achieve signicant
cost reductions and increase exibility.
PRIMERGY BX Ethernet Switch/IBP 10Gbit/s 18/8
The PRIMERGY Ethernet Switch/IBP 18/8 is an
integrated 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connection blade
with DCB mode for use in the PRIMERGY BX400
and BX900 blade server chassis. Collaboration with
Top of Rack (ToR) switches enables for operation
of converging FCoE, extending usage areas
comprehensively.
It can be installed in 4 connection bays of
PRIMERGY BX400 (Fabrics 1 and 2), and in 6
connection bays of PRIMERGY BX900 (Fabrics
1, 2 and 3) and offers 18 x 1/10 Gbit/s Ethernet
down-link port to the midplane for server blade
connections. The module comes with 8 x 1/10
Gbit/s Ethernet uplink port and supports OSI Layer
2 functions.
The Intelligent Blade Panel function combines the
switch advantage of cable and port consolidation
with the pass-thru advantages of working fully
(VLAN) transparent and lacking of any protocol
compatibility issues. Server blade LAN ports may
be grouped together with one or more external
ports into independent named port groups. When
using the so-called Management VLAN grouping
feature, a separate VLAN-based management
access to each server blade may be assigned.
Highly appreciated will be the fact, that this
connection blade allows simultaneous access
from 1 as well as from 10 Gbit/s Ethernet ports,
thus providing non-constraining operability of
differently equipped server blades in a chassis with
the identical connection blade.
