Product description
HPE 8/8 SAN Switch connects servers and storage devices through high-speed, highly scalable, and highly available Fiber Channel SAN fabrics. It is targeted for SMB enterprises and is ideal for entry-level SANs, and as an edge switch for core-to-edge SAN environments. The 8/8 SAN Switch provides SAN connectivity that improves system performance, maximizes the value of virtual server deployments, and reduces overall storage costs. The 8/8 Base SAN Switch provides an affordable single-switch solution for a small SAN installation and connects to storage and servers.
Product features
