Fast and direct connection to SAN
PRIMERGY BX Connection Blades simplify network
connectivity for PRIMERGY BX Blade Servers,
ensuring fast, reliable and flexible access to
data and storage networks. All Connection
Blades are integrated within the BX chassis and
benefit from a high-speed midplane as well
as from energy-efficient power and cooling. A
wide range of different Connection Blades are
available to address current and next-generation
I/O requirements for standards-based Fibre
Channel, InfiniBand and Ethernet networks.
PRIMERGY BX400 system units support up to 4
Connection Blades, PRIMERGY BX900 up to 8, thus
implementing flexible and scalable connections
in order to meet the requirements arising from
dynamic workloads.
Today’s technological specifications offer speeds
of up to 8 Gb for Fibre Channel, 40Gb InfiniBand,
and up to 10 Gb for Ethernet connections per
Uplink port. All the facets of Connection Blades are
available, from highly functional self-developed
models to brand models from Brocade or
Mellanox; all feasible requirements can thus be
met.

Blade Servers and Fibre Channel SANs build an
ideal infrastructure for maximizing the benefits
of consolidation and server virtualization. In
addition to Fibre Channel switch blades Fujitsu
offers a connection blade for direct transmission
of sensitive data between servers and storage.
Each of the maximum 3 (4) Fibre Channel pass-
thru blades within a BX400 (BX900) blade server
enclosure provides secure interconnectivity with
up to 8 Gbit/s for up to 18 FC ports. The small
pass-thru form factor (single width and height)
allows connection of up to 72 FC ports whilst
leaving 2 more IO fabrics of the BX system unit
usable for additional types of transmission, e.
g. for Infiniband. At twice the bandwidth of 4
Gb networks, each Server Blade can host more
virtual machines ensuring high performance and
availability.
