Description

The Dell Brocade G610BR‑G610‑8‑16G‑0 FCSAN is an 8‑port Fibre Channel switch delivering 16 Gbit/s per port via shortwave SFP+ transceivers. Built on Brocade Gen 6 Fibre Channel technology, it provides low-latency, flash‑ready performance suited for SAN environments in data centers and enterprise fabric deployments .

This managed, rack‑mountable 1U switch offers Ports-on-Demand scalability from 8 to 24 Fibre Channel ports via license activation, making it a flexible and cost‑effective SAN switch platform.

With aggregate bandwidth up to 768 Gb/s and sub‑microsecond latency (~<780 ns), the G610 ensures high throughput and performance for critical storage operations such as virtualization, backup, and high‑speed data access.

Designed for energy-efficient operation, the G610 consumes approximately 0.10 W/Gbps or 3.2 W per port, offering low total cost of ownership with real-time power monitoring capabilities.

Key Features
  • Managed 8‑port Fibre Channel switch with 16 Gb/s speed per port using Brocade Gen 6 architecture and SWL SFP+ transceivers ⬇️ (configurable to 24 ports via PoD licensing).
  • Ports-on-Demand scalability up to 24 ports using licensed activation—grows with changing SAN needs .
  • High aggregate throughput of 768 Gb/s; fabric latency under 780 ns ensures exceptional I/O responsiveness.
  • Low energy usage at ~3.2 W per port and real-time power monitoring reduce operating costs.
  • Comprehensive fabric services: Dynamic Path Selection, QoS, zoning, FSPF, NPIV, ISL trunking, access gateway mode support.
  • Multiple management options: CLI, SNMP v1/v3, SSH, HTTP/HTTPS, SMI-S, Fabric OS, EZSwitchSetup for fast deployment.
  • 1U rack-mount design with back‑to‑front airflow and internal power supply for data center efficiency.

Compatibility
Fully compatible with Brocade/IBM/Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel SAN infrastructures, supporting flash‑ready fabrics with speeds auto‑negotiating from 4 G to 32 G. Scaleable in fabrics up to 239 switches and 6,000 active nodes. Compatible with Access Gateway mode for simplified zoning and virtualization integration .


Usage Scenarios

This switch is ideal for enterprise SAN deployments requiring reliable high-speed Fibre Channel fabric connectivity, as it supports backup infrastructure, VDI storage, database clusters, and virtualization under high I/O demands.

Small to mid‑sized organizations can start with the 8‑port base and grow capacity as required, enabling future expansion without hardware changes.

With ultra-low latency and flash-ready design, it accelerates flash storage performance in data centers, backup environments, or active‑active replication fabrics.

Energy-efficient power and airflow design make it well-suited for dense racks or edge data center scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I expand the switch beyond 8 ports?
Yes—Ports-on-Demand licensing can activate additional ports in 8-port increments up to 24 total, without replacing hardware 
Q2: What Fibre Channel speeds are supported per port?
Each port supports auto‑sensing speeds of 4, 8, 16, or 32 Gb/s depending on the SFP+ module used.
Q3: How efficient is power consumption on the G610?
Designed to consume roughly 0.10 W/Gbps (≈3.2 W per port), it offers strong power efficiency with real-time monitoring for energy control .
Q4: What fabric services are supported for SAN deployment?
Includes advanced features such as Dynamic Path Selection, Fabric Vision, zoning, ISL trunking, NPIV, Access Gateway mode, QoS, RSCN, and NVLOG tracing .
