LENOVO System Networking RackSwitch G8316 Rear to Front

The LENOVO System Networking RackSwitch G8316 supports several types of configurations: 10 Gb, and 40 Gb, Virtual NIC, Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE/DCB), and iSCSI.
The LENOVO System Networking RackSwitch G8316 supports Data Center Bridging (DCB), which is the IEEE’s group of protocols that provide lossless Ethernet and allows for clients to reduce the costs of implementing either NAS or iSCSI convergence and priority-based flow control.
Uses VMready on-switch software that helps reduce the complexity of managing virtual machines (VMs) in the network (the license for this capability comes standard with the purchase of the switch and is part of the Networking Operating System).
The LENOVO System Networking RackSwitch G8316 is OpenFlow enabled. With OpenFlow, you can easily create user-controlled virtual networks, optimize performance dynamically, and minimize complexity.
The part numbers for the G8316 switches include the following items:

• One RackSwitch G8316 with two power supplies and four fan assemblies (rear-to-front airflow or front-to-rear airflow)
• Generic Rack Mount Kit (2-post)
