Product Description
The HP 481546-001 is a high-performance Fibre Channel SAN director blade switch module, engineered to provide dense and reliable connectivity within HP's SAN director chassis. With 16 ports operating at 8Gb/s, this blade switch is designed to meet the demanding bandwidth requirements of modern enterprise storage area networks, supporting applications such as virtualization, high-performance computing, and large-scale data storage. Each of the 16 ports utilizes SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers, commonly referred to as mini-GBICs, allowing for flexible fiber optic connectivity. The 8Gb/s speed per port ensures low latency and high throughput, critical for mission-critical storage operations. As a blade switch, it integrates directly into a larger director chassis, contributing to a consolidated and scalable SAN architecture. This module is built for enterprise-grade reliability and manageability. Its hot-swappable design allows for maintenance and upgrades without disrupting network operations. The HP 481546-001 is a key component for organizations seeking to build or expand robust, high-performance SANs that can support significant data growth and demanding application workloads.
