HP N2K-B22HP-F 16 x Ports 10GbE FCoE B22 Blade Fabric Extender Expansion Module

Description

The HP N2K-B22HP-F is a high-density Blade Fabric Extender Expansion Module engineered to enhance the networking capabilities of HP BladeSystem enclosures. Featuring 16 ports, it significantly expands the network connectivity options available to server blades housed within the chassis. Each port operates at 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds, providing substantial bandwidth for demanding applications and high-traffic environments. A key feature of this module is its support for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). FCoE allows storage traffic (typically carried over Fibre Channel) and Ethernet traffic to be converged onto a single network infrastructure. This convergence simplifies cabling, reduces the number of network adapters required, and can lead to cost savings and improved power efficiency within the data center. Designed specifically for HP BladeSystem environments, the N2K-B22HP-F integrates seamlessly into the chassis, acting as an extension of the network fabric. It enables server blades to connect directly to the network at high speeds, facilitating efficient data transfer for storage, server-to-server communication, and access to external network resources. This module is crucial for organizations looking to build scalable, high-performance, and converged network infrastructures within their blade server deployments.
