Product Description
The HPE 481547-001 StorageWorks SAN Director Blade Switch is a critical component for constructing robust and high-performance Storage Area Networks (SANs) in enterprise environments. This blade switch is designed to provide a high density of Fibre Channel ports, offering 32 connections that operate at 8Gb/s. Each port utilizes SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers, allowing for flexibility in choosing the appropriate media type (e.g., short-wave, long-wave, or copper) based on specific network requirements and distances. As a 'Director' class switch, it is built for maximum availability, scalability, and performance, making it suitable for the most demanding storage applications. The 8Gb/s speed ensures rapid data transfer between servers and storage arrays, which is essential for applications requiring low latency and high throughput, such as databases, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing. The blade form factor allows for seamless integration into HPE BladeSystem enclosures, consolidating network infrastructure and simplifying management. This switch is a key element in HPE's StorageWorks portfolio, designed to deliver the reliability and performance needed for mission-critical data. It enables organizations to build scalable, resilient, and efficient SANs that can support a growing number of servers and storage devices, ensuring optimal access to data and supporting business continuity.
