The Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1-4 is a enterprise-class, 2 rack-unit Fabric Interconnect which provides server connectivity to network and storage resources. The Fabric Interconnect F1-4 supports up to 4 of the same 1 GE, 10 GE, and Fibre Channel modules as Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1-15 flagship product.
Server connectivity is supported through the Fabric Interconnect's Fabric Board, can be ordered for specific connection types:
InfiniBand (IB) connections of Double Data Rate (DDR) are supported through an InfiniBand Fabric Board that has 24 individual server ports. The IB server connections are at 20 Gbps (DDR) based on the speeds supported in your network.
InfiniBand connections of Quadruple Data Rate (QDR) are supported through an InfiniBand Fabric Board that has 20 individual server ports. The IB server connections are at 20 Gbps (DDR), or Quadruple Data Rate at 40 Gbps based on the speeds supported in your network.
Because the Fabric Interconnect F1-4 is half the size of the Fabric Interconnect F1-15, the Fabric Interconnect F1-4's smaller form factor allows for higher rack density by consuming fewer rack units when compared to the Fabric Interconnect F1-15.
