Product Description
The HP AL563AR is a specialized 10Gb/s Short Wave (SW) Xenpak transceiver module engineered for Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity. This module is crucial for building high-performance Storage Area Networks (SANs) that require rapid and reliable data transfer between servers and storage devices. Its 10Gb/s speed significantly enhances I/O performance, making it ideal for demanding storage applications, high-transaction databases, and virtualized environments. Designed with the Xenpak form factor, the AL563AR ensures compatibility with a range of HP Fibre Channel switches and Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). The 'Short Wave' designation indicates its suitability for shorter-distance optical links, typically over multi-mode fiber, which is common within data center racks or between adjacent racks. The module facilitates efficient data transmission with low latency, a critical factor for storage performance. As a hot-pluggable component, the AL563AR can be installed or replaced without disrupting network operations, contributing to the overall availability and manageability of the SAN infrastructure. This transceiver is a key component for organizations leveraging HP storage solutions and requiring robust, high-speed connectivity to ensure optimal performance and responsiveness of their storage systems.
