IBM 7309HC3

Upgrade your network with the IBM 7309HC3, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for data center top-of-rack, leaf-spine and server aggregation designs. The product line is engineered for data center top-of-rack switching.

The port configuration is 4 x 40 GB QSFP 48 X10GB SFP, so you can connect end devices and uplinks to suit your design. Higher-speed 40GbE connectivity is ideal for uplinks and aggregation, keeping traffic moving when many users are active. Fiber-ready transceiver slots extend your network across floors, buildings or campuses with the optic of your choice. Intelligent frame forwarding avoids flooding every port and keeps bandwidth available for real work. Check that your chosen SFP-type transceivers or DAC cables are compatible with the switch before ordering optics. Optical links resist electrical noise and reach far beyond copper limits, which is useful between buildings. Standards-based Ethernet ensures interoperability with routers, firewalls, servers and endpoints from other vendors. Wired Ethernet gives consistent, low-latency connections that wireless alone cannot always guarantee.

The compact design makes installation straightforward in its intended location. In a leaf-spine design, high-speed ports connect servers at the leaf while uplinks provide bandwidth to the spine. Virtualized workloads, storage traffic and east-west flows benefit from its density and speed. Mount it where air can circulate freely to support long service life. A UPS on the network rack keeps connections alive through short power outages. Data center switching of this class supports the bandwidth that modern hypervisors, containers and storage need. The IBM 7309HC3 suits top-of-rack placement, which keeps server cabling short and organized. Whether you are building a new network or replacing an existing unit, the 7309HC3 delivers IBM RackSwitch switching that fits the job.
