A 64-port 16Gb FC High Density Blade for the SN8000B is available offering high density port counts. It scales up to 512
16Gbps ports with a total system bandwidth of 10.2 Tbps. Compared to the 64 port 8Gb FC blade, the new 64-port 16Gb FC blade increases port density by 33%, reduces cabling by 75% and lowers TCO by providing the lowest Watts/Gb.
There is a common ICL POD (Ports on Demand) license between SN8000B 8-Slot and 4-Slot chassis. A single ICL POD
license will enable 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps of bandwidth in both SN8000B 8-Slot and 4-Slot Director. A subsequent ICL POD license will enable an additional 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps in SN8000B 8-Slot Director. The optional Enterprise ICL POD license allows you to connect four or more other SN8000B Director Chassis using ICLs.
SN8000B SAN Directors allow customers to configure a port on the 16Gb 32-port and 48-port blades at 10Gb FC speed.
The 10Gb port speed setting is not supported on the 16Gb 64-port blade. This is available for DWDM metro connectivity and will be enabled by a slot based 10GE license.
SN8000B SAN Directors provide features like in-flight encryption and compression as part of base Fabri

Ingress Rate
Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN node. This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.
Quality of Service
Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.
Traffic Isolation
Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non­preferred path to be used if the preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred path fails. TIZ can be used to manually ma priority, and topology.

Integrated Routing is an optional license which provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) on a per­port basis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on a dedicated routing blade or switch. Just like traditional FCR, Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports to import/export selective device sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation. Integrated Routing provides architecture flexibility to route on a port
