Overview:

HPE 8/8 SAN Switch
HPE 8/8 SAN Switch is targeted for SMB enterprises and is ideal for entry-level SANs, and as an edge switch for core-to-edge SAN environments. The 8/8 SAN Switch provides SAN connectivity that improves system performance, maximizes the value of virtual server deployments, and reduces overall storage

Features:

High Performance

• Remove/avoid performance bottlenecks in high-density virtualized server environments.
• Enables rapid deployment with minimal configuration in existing environments, provides the highest performance available, with complete backward and forward investment protection.
• Very affordable, enables "pay-as-you-grow" 8-port scalability for easy, non-disruptive growth in highly dynamic business environment.

High Scalability

• Includes simultaneous wire-speed support for all ports to provide a high-performance system with aggregate bandwidth of up to 384 Gb/s full duplex.
• Provides seamless server connectivity to multi-vendor fabric environments, and allows a great number of servers to connect to a SAN fabric without increasing switch domain count.
• Allows up to eight ports (at 2, 4, or 8 Gb/s speeds) between a pair of switches to be combined to form a single logical ISL with a speed of up to 64 Gb/s (128 Gb/s full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.

Improved TCO

• Optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to all available paths in the fabric.
• Simplifies SAN management, negating the need to map application performance requirements to port speeds.
• Advanced fabric services to optimize SAN performance and resource utilization.

Investment Protection

• Delivers low latency, power efficiency, and high reliability while providing a highly scalable and flexible platform for advanced fabric services.
