Product Description
The HP AE495A, part of the HP StorageWorks family, is a high-performance Storage Area Network (SAN) switch designed to facilitate robust and scalable connectivity for enterprise storage environments. This 2U rackmount unit is equipped with 32 Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports, which are configurable to support various Fibre Channel speeds, typically ranging from 1Gbps to 4Gbps. These ports allow for flexible connection to servers and storage arrays, ensuring efficient data transfer and access. The 4/64 designation indicates its capability to support a fabric of up to 64 ports, suggesting potential for expansion or higher-density configurations through stacking or additional modules, depending on the specific implementation. Its non-blocking architecture ensures that all ports can operate at their maximum speed simultaneously without contention, which is critical for demanding storage workloads. This makes it suitable for mission-critical applications where low latency and high throughput are paramount. Management of the AE495A is comprehensive, offering administrators tools such as a Command Line Interface (CLI), a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), and SNMP support for integration into existing network management systems. The switch is built for reliability and performance, providing the foundation for a resilient and efficient SAN infrastructure. It is an integral component for organizations looking to optimize their data storage and retrieval processes.
