7309-HC4 IBM BNT G8264 64x 10Gb/s SFP+ Port +4x 40Gb/s Network Switch

IBM BNT G8264 7309-HC4

Built for data center and high-density server rooms where east-west traffic and port density are priorities, the IBM BNT G8264 (7309-HC4) is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch from IBM, part of the RackSwitch Series. The product line is engineered for data center top-of-rack switching.

On the front panel you get 64 x 10Gb/s SFP, 4 x 40Gb/s, ready for copper and fiber connections as your design requires. 40GbE capability provides high-bandwidth links to servers, storage or the network core, which helps prevent bottlenecks. Modular optical slots give you flexible fiber uplinks for longer distances and electrical isolation. Email, file sharing, voice and video all depend on stable switching underneath. Intelligent frame forwarding avoids flooding every port and keeps bandwidth available for real work. Everyday business communication depends on dependable switching between users, servers and the internet. Each switched port gives a connected device its own dedicated link instead of sharing bandwidth as on an old-style hub. Good labeling and port documentation pay off when devices are moved or replaced.

It provides the bandwidth that today's virtual machines, containers and storage platforms demand. 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. Low latency and high port density make it suitable for virtualization, storage traffic and east-west workloads. For anyone sourcing IBM RackSwitch switching, the 7309-HC4 combines IBM engineering with practical, everyday performance.
