LENOVO RACKSWITCH G8124E
Ultra low-latency, high-performance 10 Gb top-of-rack
switch
PERFORMANCE,
AVAILABILITY
The Lenovo® RackSwitch™
G8124E is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) switch specifically
designed for the data center,
providing a virtualized, cooler
and easier network solution.
The G8124E offers twenty-four
10 GbE ports in a high-density,
1U footprint. The G8124E is
designed with ultra-low latency
and top performance in mind.
Redundant power and fans,
along with numerous high-
availability features, mean that
the G8124E is always available
for business-sensitive traffic.

VIRTUAL, EASY
The G8124E is virtualized—
supports Virtual Fabric, which
allows for the carving up of a
physical NIC into 2 - 8 virtual
NICs (vNICs) for improved
performance, availability and
security, while reducing cost
and complexity.

The G8124E is cooler—
implementing a choice of direc-
tional cooling to maximize data
center layout and provisioning.
Its superior airflow design
complements the hot-aisle
and cold-aisle data center
cooling model.

The G8124E is easier—with
server-oriented provisioning
via point-and-click management
interfaces. Its industry-standard
CLI and easy interoperability
simplifies configuration for those
familiar with Cisco environments.

ETHERNET EFFICIENCY
Take advantage of the economy
and performance of lossless
Ethernet, which can eliminate
packet drops for significantly
improved performance, reliability
and predictability. The G8124E
can help your data center evolve
to a higher level, helping you
consolidate network and storage
networks into a single fabric.
You can achieve lower costs,
simplify management and attain
higher performance with better
bandwidth utilization—and the
flexibility you need to meet
tomorrow’s needs. Converged
enhanced Ethernet can help
deliver value for your iSCSI,
NAS and FCoE enterprise
storage environments.
