In a Dell XtremIO X2-R system, a four X-Brick cluster configuration includes two InfiniBand Switches1. Each InfiniBand Switch in a multi X-Brick system, such as the X2-R, is included to interconnect the X-Bricks within the cluster. While the specific number of ports is not directly stated in the search results, the configuration implies a high number of ports to support the connectivity between multiple X-Bricks. Based on the available information and typical configurations of such systems, it is reasonable to infer that each InfiniBand Switch would have 36 ports to provide the necessary interconnectivity for a four X-Brick cluster.
