EMC Refurbished Switches

EMC storage environments depend on reliable switching between servers, storage arrays, and applications — and replacing or expanding that switching infrastructure doesn't have to mean buying new. We stock refurbished EMC switches across Fibre Channel SAN, Ethernet, and InfiniBand, covering the switching hardware used in Isilon, VNX, and other EMC storage environments.

 

Every unit is inspected and tested before shipping under our ISO 9001-certified quality management system. Orders ship from our warehouse in Denmark within 1–2 working days.

 

  • Save up to 80% versus buying new
  • Inspected and tested under our ISO 9001-certified quality management system
  • 1-year warranty included
  • Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and InfiniBand switches for EMC storage environments

EMC Brocade Fibre Channel Switches

The majority of our refurbished EMC switch stock covers Brocade Fibre Channel switching — the standard connectivity layer in EMC SAN environments. We stock Connectrix fixed-port FC switches at 8Gb, 16Gb, and 32Gb, along with director-class DCX and DCX6 platforms with blade-based port expansion for larger, high-availability SAN fabrics. The Connectrix MP-7800B and MP-7840B multi-protocol platforms are also in stock, supporting both FC and Ethernet connectivity.

 

EMC Ethernet and Fabric Switches

For Ethernet connectivity within EMC Isilon and other scale-out environments, we stock refurbished switches configured for use within EMC storage environments — including Arista, Celestica, Force10, and Dell Networking variants — rather than general LAN switching.

 

EMC InfiniBand Switches

For high-performance interconnects within EMC scale-out environments, we stock refurbished InfiniBand QDR switches in 36-port configurations used in Isilon high-density clusters.

 

Finding the Right EMC Switch

Compatibility depends on your existing SAN fabric, storage platform, port speed, and whether the switch is used for FC, Ethernet, or InfiniBand connectivity. If you're not sure which switch fits your environment, our team can help confirm the right match, or use our Parts Finder to search by EMC part number.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of refurbished EMC switches do you stock? Brocade Fibre Channel switches across the Connectrix DS and DCX range at 8Gb, 16Gb, and 32Gb FC, Ethernet switches for Isilon and scale-out EMC environments, and InfiniBand QDR switches.

 

What is the difference between the Connectrix DS and DCX platforms? The Connectrix DS series are fixed-port FC switches for smaller SAN fabrics. The DCX and DCX6 are director-class modular chassis platforms with blade-based port expansion for larger, high-availability SAN environments.

 

Are refurbished EMC Brocade switches compatible with non-EMC SAN environments? Yes — they use standard Fibre Channel protocols and are compatible with other FC infrastructure regardless of vendor, provided the fabric speed and port configuration match.

 

How much can I save with a refurbished EMC switch? Up to 80% versus buying new, depending on the model and port configuration.

 

What's the warranty on a refurbished EMC switch? Every refurbished EMC switch comes with a 1-year warranty.
