The Cisco SFS 3012R Server Switch can be used in a variety of networking environments, including database tiers, application tiers, and Web tiers. The Cisco SFS 3012R Server Switch provides 10 Gbps per port connectivity to servers, 1 Gbps per port connectivity to Ethernet networks, and 2 Gbps per port connectivity to Fibre Channel networks. You can also aggregate uplinks for greater bandwidth and redundancy.

Scalability

You can populate the cable end of the Cisco SFS 3012R Server Switch with additional Fibre Channel gateways, Ethernet gateways, and a second InfiniBand switch module to increase the port count of your server switch. A second InfiniBand switch module adds 12 InfiniBand ports. Each additional Fibre Channel gateway adds 2 Fibre Channel ports. Each additional Ethernet gateway adds 4 or 6 Ethernet ports.
