IBM Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender
The IBM Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender (94Y5353) is a high-performance networking module designed to expand and simplify network connectivity within IBM Flex System environments. It acts as an extension of a Cisco Nexus parent switch, providing high-speed server access with minimal management overhead — perfect for modern data center architectures where scalability, server edge connectivity, and unified management are key priorities.
Key Features:
¤ Designed for IBM Flex System chassis to extend Nexus switch fabric to server I/O bays.
¤ Supports 8 × 10 Gb SFP+ ports, enabling high-speed connectivity to upstream Nexus switches.
¤ Functions as a remote line card for a Cisco Nexus switch, reducing management points and simplifying network operations.
¤ Ideal for 10 Gigabit Ethernet network architectures with transparent fabric extension.
¤ Helps consolidate and streamline LAN, SAN, and FCoE traffic within converged infrastructures.
Benefits:
¤ Scalability: Efficiently scale server connectivity without increasing individual switch configuration tasks.
¤ Management simplicity: Configured and controlled from the parent Cisco Nexus switch, not individually.
¤ Performance: Provides low-latency, high-throughput links between compute nodes and network fabrics.
Use Cases:
¤ Data center blade environments requiring 10 Gb connectivity to core/aggregation layers.
¤ Flex System deployments that integrate Cisco Nexus infrastructure.
¤ Networks consolidating Ethernet and converged traffic for efficiency and performance.
