HP B-Series 8/24c SAN Switch Power Pak+ BladeSystem c-Class
This version of the HP B-Series 8/24c SAN Switch BladeSystem c-Class comes bundled withn PowerPack+ software. This bundle includes licenses for Adaptive Networking, ISL Trunking, Advanced Performance Monitoring, Fabric Watch and Extended Fabrics.
The HP 8/24c Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class delivers an easy to manage embedded Fibre Channel switch with 8 Gbps performance. The Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch hot-plugs into the back of the HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure. The integrated design frees up rack space, enables shared power and cooling, and reduces cabling and small form-factor pluggables. Enhanced trunking support with external switches provides higher bandwidth to enable demanding applications such as server virtualization. The Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch saves space and cost, significantly simplifies the SAN environment, enables easier deployment and management, and delivers the performance required for emerging higher throughput applications.
Thye follwoing are highlights of the PowerPack+ software bundle:
Adaptive Networking Services: This suite of tools optimizes fabric behavior and ensures ample bandwidth for mission-critical applications.
ISL Trunking: For high performance and seamless failover, this license logically groups up to eight E-ports (switch mode) or F-ports (Access Gateway mode) to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two Brocade or HP StorageWorks B-Series switches.
Fabric Watch: Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the health of the SAN for potential faults-and automatically alert network managers to problems before they become failures.
Advanced Performance Monitoring: This enabling technology helps administrators monitor application data traffic from a SID (Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID), so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more efficiently.
Extended Fabrics: Extends the native Fibre-Channel traffic up to 166 km.
