BladeSystem
Provides sixteen internal downlinks, five uplinks and two internal cross-connects.
Up to four uplinks can be optionally configured as fiber SX links
Provides a full set of industry standard Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switching and layer 3 routing
features
Dramatically reduces cabling, power and cooling requirements compared to stand-alone switches
or pass-thru modules, allowing you to realize the full cost saving benefits of the HP c-Class
BladeSystem.
Enables support of virtualized environments and other emerging technologies through high-speed
technology that doubles the performance of the current storage network. Both internal and external
facing ports auto-sense lower bandwidth components for flexibility and investment protection (2, 4,
or 8 Gb).
Includes connection speed support for all ports to provide a high-performance system with
aggregate bandwidth of up to 384 Gbps (24 ports x 8 Gbps x 2 for full duplex).
Support for up to a single trunk made up of all eight SAN ports for a total of up to 64 Gbps
balanced throughput.
Enables organizations to better manage data flows and meet service level agreements while
maintaining optimized application performance in virtual environments with new optional Adaptive
Networking services, including Quality of Service Traffic Prioritization, Preferred Path Traffic
Isolation, Top Talkers, and Ingress Rate Limiting.
Employs N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), an ANSI T11 standard, to enable interoperability with
other SAN fabrics and eliminate domain considerations while improving SAN scalability.
Designed to scale as business needs dictate with the option of a 12-port model and a 12-port
upgrade license, as well as a 24-port and 24-port Power Pack+ models.
An embedded Fibre Channel switch, delivering high performance, value, and high-availability for
HP BladeSystem c-Class customers who desire the benefits of a SAN solution in a hot-pluggable
design supporting redundant configurations.
Up to eight external facing ports auto-sense lower bandwidth components for greater flexibility and
investment protection (4, 2, or 1 Gbps).
Employs N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), an ANSI T11 standard, to enable interoperability with
supported SAN fabrics and to eliminate domain considerations for improving SAN scalability via
Brocade Access Gateway technology.
Designed to scale as business needs dictate with the option of a 12-port model and a 12-port
upgrade license, as well as a 24-port and 24-port Power Pack models
IT organizations can lower costs, minimize deployment time, increase performance, and
significantly simplify their environments through the integration of 4 Gbps Fibre Channel switching
with the HP BladeSystem c-Class.
An embedded Fibre Channel switch, delivering high performance, value, and high-availability for
HP BladeSystem c-Class customers who desire the benefits of a SAN solution in a hot-pluggable
design supporting redundant configurations.
Up to eight external facing ports auto-sense lower bandwidth components for greater flexibility and
investment protection (4, 2, or 1 Gbps).
Designed to scale as business needs dictate with the option of a 12-port model and a 12-port
upgrade license, as well as a 24-port model.
Simplifies deployment while optimizing core edge fabrics with support for virtual output queuing,
flexible buffer credit allocation, Port Channels, Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF), and more.
New N-Port Virtualizer with FlexAttach (SAN-OS v3.3(1a) and later) employs industry-standard N-
Port Virtualization technology to eliminate domain count concerns, enable fabric interoperability,
and enables the flexibility to move or replace servers without impact to the SAN connections.
Support for up to 16 VSANs per switch
Offers an extensive security framework to protect highly sensitive data crossing today's enterprise
network
