Brocade Communications G620 48-port 32 Gbit/s network switch

SKU CH-5QYG-PYM8A MPN G620

A 48-port Fibre Channel switch delivering 32 Gbit/s performance with pay-as-you-grow scalability from 24 to 64 ports

  • Up to 100 million IOPS for demanding flash workloads
  • 128 Gbps ISL connectivity doubles available bandwidth
  • Scales from 24 to 64 ports on demand
  • 48 Fibre Channel ports at 32 Gbit/s each
  • Built-in instrumentation simplifies monitoring and diagnostics

48-port 32 Gbit/s Fibre Channel switch

The Brocade G620 is a 48-port Fibre Channel switch operating at 32 Gbit/s per port. It is built for enterprise storage networks that need high throughput and low latency. The platform supports scale-out architectures with a compact footprint.

Suits flash-heavy SANs; not for smaller port counts

This switch suits organisations running demanding flash workloads that require up to 100 million IOPS and 128 Gbps inter-switch links. It also fits teams needing pay-as-you-grow expansion from 24 to 64 ports. Buyers who only need 10 or 24 ports should look at smaller models.

48 active ports at 32 Gbit/s

The decisive specification is the 48 ports running at 32 Gbit/s each. This density determines whether the switch matches the current fabric size and the planned growth path to 64 ports.

Questions about this item

How is the Brocade G620 installed, and which step do people often miss?

Rack-mount the switch using the included brackets, connect the 48 Fibre Channel ports at 32 Gbit/s, then run the initial setup wizard to license the active ports — skipping the wizard leaves ports unlicensed.

What maintenance or replacement will the G620 need later?

Replace the hot-swap fan modules and power supplies when the chassis alerts indicate degradation; no other field-replaceable parts are required.

What limit appears first on the G620 under sustained heavy load?

The 48-port licence ceiling is reached before the 128 Gbit/s ISL bandwidth or the 100 million IOPS capacity.
