Need Proof of Performance?
Take a look at the resources below for evidence that IBM’s range of BNT switches can really outperform the competition and save cost for your customers.
Note: Switch pricing obtained from public sources in November, 2010. Price calculated based on IBM BNT G8264 48x10GbE and 4x40GbE Switch, Arista 48Port 7148SX 10GbE Switch, Cisco Nexus 5548P 1RU Chassis 2 PS 2 Fan 32 Fxd 10GE with Nexus 5500 Module 16P 10GE, and Juniper EX4500 40-Port 10G SFP+ Switch with two 4-Port 10G SFP+ Uplinks and one 1200W AC power supply. Performance based on theoretical max throughput for all switches evaluated.
