HP 410152-001 Virtual Connect 4x LC 4Gb/s Fibre Channel Module

Product Description

The HP 410152-001 is a Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module, specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with HP BladeSystem enclosures. This module acts as a high-speed interconnect, providing four Fibre Channel ports, each utilizing LC connectors, capable of operating at 4 Gigabits per second (Gb/s). Its primary function is to connect blade servers within the BladeSystem to a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN), enabling direct access to shared storage resources. The 'Virtual Connect' technology embedded in this module offers significant advantages in terms of flexibility and management. It abstracts the network infrastructure from the physical server hardware, allowing administrators to dynamically allocate bandwidth and network connections to different servers without requiring physical recabling or hardware changes. This simplifies deployment, reduces complexity, and enhances the agility of the data center. With four 4Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, the 410152-001 module provides ample connectivity for multiple servers or for creating redundant paths to storage. This ensures high availability and performance for critical applications and data. It is a key component for organizations utilizing HP BladeSystem for their server infrastructure and requiring robust, high-speed access to SAN storage.
