  • Designed for chassis-based deployment
  • Consolidate storage connectivity with 48 Fibre Channel ports in a blade architecture
Keep storage traffic moving with dense 32G Fibre Channel connectivity in a blade architecture designed for enterprise SAN fabrics. The Brocade FC64-48 PT Blade 32G SWL fits environments where port density, fabric consistency, and chassis-based integration matter more than generic switching features. This model is suited to teams building or expanding storage networks that must support latency-sensitive workloads, large-scale virtualization, and resilient pathing between hosts and arrays. Its blade design helps conserve rack space while delivering the port count needed to simplify fabric segmentation and reduce the number of discrete devices in the data path. For infrastructure teams, the value is in the balance of density and control. A blade-based SAN switch can streamline deployment inside compatible chassis environments, reduce cable complexity, and support cleaner operational management than lower-density alternatives. That makes it a strong fit for organizations standardizing on Fibre Channel for predictable storage performance and operational discipline. Use it where storage access cannot be left to chance: clustered databases, virtualization platforms, backup targets, and shared storage tiers that depend on stable fabric behavior. When the cost of downtime is measured in application impact, this class of switch earns its place.

Ideal For

  • Deploy in enterprise SAN chassis for dense host-to-storage connectivity
  • Support virtualization clusters that depend on stable Fibre Channel paths
  • Connect storage arrays and servers in performance-sensitive data center fabrics
  • Expand existing Fibre Channel environments without adding rack-mounted switch sprawl

Why This Product

  • 1Higher port density than entry-level SAN switches
  • 2Blade architecture reduces rack footprint
  • 332 Gbps ports support faster storage fabrics
  • 4Better fit for chassis-based SAN deployments than standalone switches
