Features

The Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class

Delivers an easy to manage embedded Fibre Channel switch with 8 Gb/s performance

The Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch hot-plugs into the back of the HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure

The integrated design frees up rack space, enables shared power and cooling,

And reduces cabling and small form-factor pluggables

Enhanced trunking support with external switches provides higher bandwidth

To enable demanding applications such as server virtualization

New features in the Power Pack+ option enable you to manage data flow

To maintain optimized application performance

The 12 or 24 auto-sensing ports support lower bandwidth components for investment protection

And an upgrade license enables you to ‘pay as you grow’

The Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch saves space and cost, significantly simplifies the SAN environment

Enables easier deployment and management,

And delivers the performance required for emerging higher throughput applications

Enables data center consolidation

With HP BladeSystem c-Class through a state-of-the-art zero-footprint design

While lowering cost through shared power & cooling, fewer cables and SFPs, and a reduction in space

Enables support of virtualized environments and other emerging technologies

Through high-speed technology that doubles the performance of the storage network

Both internal and external facing ports auto-sense lower bandwidth components

For flexibility and investment protection (2, 4, or 8Gb)

Includes connection speed support for all ports to provide a high-performance system

With aggregate bandwidth of up to 384 Gb/s (24 ports x 8 Gb/s x 2 for full duplex)

Providing support for up to a single trunk made up of all eight SAN ports

For a total of up to 64 Gb/s balanced throughput

Trunking of the SAN-facing ports with external Brocade or HP B-series Switches

Provides a high-bandwidth solution while lowering costs through fewer SFPs and cables

Enables organizations to better manage data flows and meet service level agreements

While maintaining optimized application performance in virtual environments

With new Adaptive Networking services,

Including Adaptive Fabric Quality of Service, Traffic Isolation, 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

Integrates with HP Onboard Administrator for BladeSystem, HP Systems Insight Manager,

And HP Storage Essentials and leverages HP B-series management and monitoring tools

An SMI-s API enables the use of industry standard interfaces to integrate management w/ other apps.

Available in 12-port, 24-port and 24-port Power Pack+ Full Fabric models

Choose the features and management options that make sense for your needs. In addition

Enables ‘pay as you grow’ scalability for easy, scalable growth in dynamic business environments

With a non-disruptive 12-port upgrade for the 12-port model
