The HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module, part number 571956-B21, is a versatile and high-performance interconnect module designed to streamline your data centre networking. This device offers 24 ports, allowing it to deliver increased flexibility and performance. It supports the convergence of data traffic, Fibre Channel, and iSCSI onto the same link, reducing the complexity of your overall infrastructure. This modular device is optimised for use with HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures, making it an important component for enterprise-level networking solutions.
The module features 10Gb Ethernet uplinks that provide higher bandwidth for efficient data transfer, ensuring minimal bottlenecks in network traffic. In addition, the HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric Module supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI protocols, allowing different types of traffic to pass through the same connections. This makes it easier to manage workloads and reduces the number of physical connections, saving both valuable server space and cabling costs.
Designed for hot-plug capabilities, the module can be added or removed without shutting down other systems. Its plug-in module feature is a plus for space-constrained environments, offering easy integration into existing systems. With 24 ports, including flexible uplinks and downlinks, the device provides extensive flexibility for your networking needs while supporting a range of operating environments.
HP’s Virtual Connect technology enables the abstraction of server I/O resources from the physical hardware, allowing administrators to assign network and storage connectivity at a highly granular level. Overall, it simplifies data centre fabric management while maintaining powerful network communication capabilities.
