Product Description
The HP 779227-B21 is a high-performance Fibre Channel (FC) expansion module designed to integrate seamlessly with HPE BladeSystem c-Class server enclosures. This module provides 16Gb/s connectivity, enabling blade servers within the enclosure to connect directly to Storage Area Networks (SANs) with exceptional speed and low latency. By consolidating network connections, it significantly reduces cabling complexity and management overhead within the data center. Leveraging the Virtual Connect architecture, this module offers a flexible and simplified approach to SAN connectivity. It allows administrators to define network and SAN profiles that can be dynamically assigned to server blades. This means that network and storage connections can be changed or updated without physically altering the hardware, providing agility and reducing downtime during hardware refreshes or configuration changes. The 16Gb/s SFP+ interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern SAN infrastructure components, including Fibre Channel switches and storage arrays. The module supports multiple server connections, allowing each blade server to have dedicated, high-speed access to the SAN. This makes it an essential component for virtualized environments and high-performance computing workloads that demand robust and efficient storage access.
