Specifications

       Description
  • The Extreme Brocade BR-VDX6940-24Q-AC-R is a high-density, ultra-low-latency switch purpose-built for data centers, cloud environments, and enterprise networks. Equipped with 24x 40GbE QSFP+ active ports (expandable to 36 with Port-on-Demand licenses), this switch is engineered for high-speed, large-volume data transfer, making it ideal for demanding workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, and large-scale storage systems.
  • Offering a switching capacity of 2.88 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 2.16 billion packets per second (Bpps), this device ensures lightning-fast performance and seamless network communication. With an exceptionally low latency of 800 nanoseconds, the BR-VDX6940-24Q minimizes delays and maximizes efficiency for latency-sensitive applications.
  • Designed with back-to-front airflow (port-side exhaust) and dual redundant AC power supplies, this model meets the cooling and reliability demands of modern data center environments.
