The Brocade 16Gb SAN Switch for HPE BladeSystem c-Class represents the next generation of embedded Fiber Channel switches with 16 Gbps performance. It hot-plugs into the back of the HPE BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure and its 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 and high density server virtualization. In addition, the 16 or 28 auto-sensing ports support lower bandwidth components for investment protection and an upgrade license enables customers to 'pay as they grow'. The Brocade 16Gb SAN Switch saves space and cost, simplifies the SAN environment, enables easier deployment and management and delivers the performance required for higher throughput applications.
Product features
- Enables data center consolidation and cost savings through state-of-the-art design and performance
The Brocade 16 Gb SAN Switch for HPE BladeSystem c-Class enables data center consolidation with HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosures through a state-of-the-art zero-footprint design while lowering cost through shared power and cooling, fewer cables and SFPs and a reduction in space. Enables support of virtualized environments through industry leading 16 Gbps Fiber Channel performance. Both internal and external facing ports auto-sense lower bandwidth components for flexibility and investment protection. - Enables high density virtualization and deployment of I/O intensive applications on HPE BladeSystems
