The IBM® System Networking SAN24B-5 switch is designed to provide
outstanding price to performance value, combining flexibility, simplicity,
Gen 5 Fibre Channel technology and enterprise-class functionality in an
entry-level switch. SAN24B-5 is configurable in 12 or 24 ports and sup-
ports 2, 4, 8 or 16 Gbps speeds in an efficiently designed 1U form factor.
The base unit includes one (249824G/2498-X24) or two (2498-F24)
integrated power supplies and fans. A second power supply provides
additional redundancy for increased resiliency.

SAN24B-5 provides a critical building block for today’s highly virtualized,
private cloud storage environments. It can simplify server virtualization
and virtual desktop infrastructure management while meeting the
high-throughput demands of solid-state disks. It can also help minimize
downtime in mission-critical environments by delivering high reliability,
availability and serviceability.

Enterprise-class features in an entry-level switch
SAN24B-5 features advanced monitoring, diagnostics, reliability,
availability, serviceability and redundancy capabilities in an entry-level
switch to maximize availability, optimize performance and simplify
administration. Its enterprise-class features include critical diagnostic
and monitoring capabilities, non-intrusive and nondisruptive monitoring
on every port, forward error correction, additional buffers, real-time
bandwidth consumption by hosts and applications on inter-switch links
(ISLs), and a second power supply.
