HPE 8/8 (8) Full Fabric Ports Enabled SAN Switch - Switch - managed - 8 x SFP - rack-mountable

Key Features and Benefits:

• High Performance
  Remove/avoid performance bottlenecks in high-density virtualized server environments.
  Enables rapid deployment with minimal configuration in existing environments; provides the highest performance available, with complete backward and forward investment protection.
  Very affordable, enables "pay-as-you-grow" 8-port scalability for easy, non-disruptive growth in highly dynamic business environment.
• High Scalability
  Includes simultaneous wire-speed support for all ports to provide a high-performance system with aggregate bandwidth of up to 384 Gb/s full duplex.
  Provides seamless server connectivity to multi-vendor fabric environments, and allows a great number of servers to connect to a SAN fabric without increasing switch domain count.
  Allows up to eight ports (at 2, 4, or 8 Gb/s speeds) between a pair of switches to be combined to form a single logical ISL with a speed of up to 64 Gb/s (128 Gb/s full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
• Improved TCO
  Optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to all available paths in the fabric.
  Simplifies SAN management, negating the need to map application performance requirements to port speeds.
  Advanced fabric services to optimize SAN performance and resource utilization.
• Investment Protection
  Delivers low latency, power efficiency, and high reliability while providing a highly scalable and flexible platform for advanced fabric services.
