41Y8522 IBM Cisco CATALYST 3110X 14 -Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch for IBM BladeCenter Network Switch

IBM CATALYST 3110X 41Y8522

IBM's CATALYST 3110X, part number 41Y8522, is a 14-port Gigabit Ethernet blade switch that brings blade chassis I/O switching to modular blade systems in the data center. It belongs to a family built for blade chassis I/O switching.

With 14 ports running at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, it has plenty of capacity for users, devices and uplinks. Email, file sharing, voice and video all depend on stable switching underneath. Each switched port gives a connected device its own dedicated link instead of sharing bandwidth as on an old-style hub. Reserving specific ports for uplinks keeps your design clear as the network grows. Everyday business communication depends on dependable switching between users, servers and the internet. Standards compliance means it integrates with existing routers, servers and client devices, whatever the vendor.

A UPS on the network rack keeps connections alive through short power outages. The 41Y8522 part number makes it easy to source identical units for future expansion. Confirm it matches your blade enclosure and the I/O bay you plan to use. The IBM 41Y8522 lets you grow the network in steps rather than replacing everything at once. In-chassis switching reduces external cables and speeds up server deployment. Centralizing wired connections on one switch makes the network easier to understand and maintain. For anyone sourcing IBM Gigabit Ethernet blade switching, the 41Y8522 combines IBM engineering with practical, everyday performance.
