Description
The Brocade XBR-X74-0106 Core Routing Blade (CR64-4) is a high-performance core-routing component designed for the Brocade X7-4 Director. Delivering up to 192 back-end Fibre Channel links, it provides eight QSFP connections supporting 32 Gen 7 Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) ports, ensuring optimal bandwidth and scalability for next-generation storage-area-network (SAN) architectures.
Each CR64-4 blade interconnects all installed port blades within the chassis, enabling high-speed, low-latency data paths for mission-critical workloads. Redundant, hot-swappable, and fully active when paired in the X7-4 chassis, the XBR-X74-0106 helps maximize uptime and throughput. Ideal for enterprise-grade data centers deploying Brocade Gen 7 Fibre Channel technology, it delivers deterministic performance, advanced diagnostics, and non-disruptive scalability for dense SAN fabrics.
