IBM 44W4407 BladeCenter Switch Module
This IBM 44W4407 switch module installs into a BladeCenter chassis to provide network connectivity for blade servers. It is intended for administrators expanding or replacing switching capacity in an existing BladeCenter environment. The unit ships new and weighs 5.1 units.
Practical limits of the BladeCenter interface
The module occupies a single switch bay in the chassis, so the number of modules you can add is fixed by the chassis design. Bandwidth per blade depends on the fabric supported by the specific module and the uplinks cabled to the data centre network. Buyers who need more ports than the bay allows must use a different chassis or aggregation layer.
