Product overview

The IBM Flex System FC5022 24-Port 16GB SAN Scalable Switch (SKU 90Y9358) is a Gen 5 Fibre Channel switch for Lenovo Flex System chassis, providing 24 Fibre Channel ports at 16 Gbps each with backward compatibility to 8/4 Gbps. It offers 768 Gbps end-to-end full-duplex bandwidth, 420 million frames per second, and sub-700 ns latency for locally switched ports. Scalable via Dynamic Ports On Demand (license 88Y6382), it supports up to 255 NPIV logins per port and fabric sizes of 239 switches. Management includes Ethernet, serial, USB ports, and protocols like HTTPS, SSH v2, RADIUS. Security features AES-GCM-256 encryption, DH-CHAP, FIPS 140-2 compliance. Dual redundant hot-swap PSUs (500W or 1200W), operates 0-40°C. Ideal for high-density SAN connectivity in enterprise data centers, Access Gateway or full fabric modes reduce complexity and enhance redundancy.
