The Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HPE BladeSystem c-Class delivers an easy to manage embedded Fiber Channel switch with 8 Gbps performance. The Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch hot-plugs into the back of the HPE 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. 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.

Funkce produktu

• Integrated SAN connectivity
  It enables data center consolidation with HPE BladeSystem c-Class 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.
• Next generation 8 Gbps storage networking
  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.
• Non-blocking architecture
  Includes connection speed support for all ports to provide a high-performance system with aggregate bandwidth of up to 384 Gbps.
• ISL Trunking performance enhancements
  Now providing support for up to a single trunk made up of all eight SAN ports for a total of up to 64 Gbps balanced throughput. Trunking of the SAN-facing ports with external Brocade or HPE StorageWorks B-series switches provides a high-bandwidth solution while lowering costs through fewer SFPs and cables.
• Adaptive networking services
  Enables organizations to better manage data flows and meet service level agreements while maintaining optimized application performance in virtual environments with Adaptive Networking services, including Adaptive Fabric Quality of Service, Traffic Isolation, and Ingress Rate Limiting.
• Access Gateway mode
  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.
• Broad range of management tools and SMI-s conformance
  Integrates with HPE Onboard Administrator for BladeSystem, HPE Systems Insight Manager, and HPE Storage Essentials and leverages HPE B-series management and monitoring tools. An SMI-s API enables the use of industry standard interfaces to integrate management with other applications.
