The Cisco Nexus B22 Blade Fabric Extender for HP (Part Number: N2K-B22HP-F) is a highly efficient expansion module, specifically designed for blade servers in HP environments. This module provides 16 ports, comprising both uplinks and downlinks, ensuring robust connectivity between the blade modules and the broader network. It features a mix of 10 Gigabit Ethernet support, enabling high-speed data transfer and enhanced operational efficiency.
Built to integrate seamlessly with the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches, the Cisco Nexus B22 operates as a fabric extender, creating a uniform access layer across the server infrastructure. The device also supports HP Flex-10 technology, which allows network traffic to be partitioned into manageable streams, optimising resource allocation by delivering flexibility and high performance suited for virtualised environments.
One of the key benefits of the Cisco Nexus B22 is its forwarding decision control, where the parent switch, rather than the extender, manages decisions. This model of operation offloads certain functionalities from the blade to the parent switch, reducing the risk of bottlenecks and ensuring high throughput. The module also offers improved scalability owing to its ability to function over multiple servers and data platforms without compromising performance.
This fabric extender also utilises FEX technology to reduce management costs by allowing a single switch to control multiple extenders, streamlining network configuration, management, and monitoring. Through its comprehensive set of features, the N2K-B22HP-F simplifies the integration of HP blade servers into Cisco networks, serving as a versatile solution for enterprises looking to enhance their server networking capabilities.
