0446HC7 IBM Blade RackSwitch G8124 for E1350 Bundle Network Switch

IBM Blade 0446HC7

The IBM Blade 0446HC7 is a blade switch from IBM, part of the RackSwitch Series, built for converged blade infrastructure that needs integrated, cable-reducing switching. It belongs to a family built for data center top-of-rack switching.

Cabled connections avoid the interference and congestion that can affect wireless networks. Intelligent frame forwarding avoids flooding every port and keeps bandwidth available for real work. Good labeling and port documentation pay off when devices are moved or replaced. Stable switching is the foundation for every application your users rely on. As a central connection point, it links users with applications, storage and online services.

Mount it where air can circulate freely to support long service life. A dedicated switch gives your network a central, organized connection point for wired devices. Adding this unit expands capacity without a costly network redesign. Switching inside the enclosure cuts cable count and simplifies server provisioning. The IBM 0446HC7 keeps blade-to-network traffic inside the chassis wherever possible. The 0446HC7 part number makes it easy to source identical units for future expansion. Order the 0446HC7 today to add IBM blade switching to your infrastructure.
