Brocade BR-1020-1010 10Gbps network card

SKU CH-Z7NC-6B822 MPN BR-1020-1010

A 10Gbps dual-port CNA for Fibre Channel over Ethernet in a low-profile PCIe form factor

  • Speed10Gbps
  • 10Gbps throughput for high-speed data transfer
  • Dual-port design doubles connectivity options
  • Low-profile bracket fits compact server chassis
  • PCIe interface enables direct motherboard installation
  • Fibre Channel over Ethernet converges storage and network traffic

10Gbps dual-port CNA

The Brocade BR-1020-1010 is a 10Gbps converged network adapter that combines Fibre Channel over Ethernet with standard Ethernet on one low-profile PCIe card. Two ports provide 10Gbps links for storage and data traffic in the same slot. The adapter targets servers that need unified fabric connectivity without adding multiple cards. It is suited for dense racks where half-height brackets are required.

Suits unified-fabric deployments.

This card fits environments consolidating storage and LAN traffic onto a single 10Gbps Ethernet fabric using FCoE. IT teams running separate Fibre Channel and Ethernet infrastructures gain no advantage from the converged feature set. Buyers who only need plain 10GbE connectivity should look at a standard dual-port Ethernet adapter instead. Shops without FCoE switching infrastructure will not use the converged capability.

Dual-port 10Gbps low-profile PCIe

The defining specification is the pair of 10Gbps ports on a low-profile PCIe bracket. That combination decides whether the card fits the chassis and delivers the throughput the fabric design calls for. If the slot space or the port count does not match the deployment plan, the card cannot serve its purpose. No other single figure in the data sheet overrides this constraint.

Questions about this item

What does the 10Gbps speed mean for actual throughput in a server?

The card provides two 10Gbps ports for Fibre Channel over Ethernet traffic, giving up to 20Gbps aggregate bandwidth when both ports are active.

Which PCIe generation and lane width does the BR-1020-1010 use?

The card uses a PCIe low-profile bracket and dual-port design, but the exact generation and lane count are not confirmed by the manufacturer.

Will the low-profile bracket fit a 1U rackmount chassis?

Yes, the low-profile form factor is designed for 1U and other space-constrained servers, and the dual ports are accessible from the rear bracket.
