The HP StorageWorks 9000 Virtual Library System (VLS) 32 Port FC Connectivity Kit, part number AG308AR, is designed to provide robust Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity for enterprise-level virtual library environments. This kit is specifically engineered to support HP's Virtual Library System 9000 series, allowing it to connect storage resources more effectively for backup, recovery, and virtual tape operations.
The AG308AR kit features a 32-port Fibre Channel switch, which plays a critical role in ensuring high-speed data transfers in SAN (Storage Area Network) environments. The switch supports both 8 Gbps and 4 Gbps Fibre Channel speeds, making it adaptable to various SAN infrastructure requirements. With 32 ports available, this kit ensures extensive port density, ideal for scaling out large virtual tape libraries or connecting multiple storage devices and backup servers within a data centre environment.
This connectivity kit comes in a rack-mountable form factor, providing seamless installation in a standard server rack, ensuring that space is optimised for other critical hardware components such as servers and storage arrays. Its design is suitable for demanding data centre settings, offering reliable, enterprise-grade connectivity in mission-critical scenarios. It supports essential protocols required for operations in a modern SAN, enabling efficient data flow, quick backup, and reduced system downtimes.
The AG308AR kit is built for environments that require high availability and redundancy for backups or long-term data storage via virtual tape libraries. By enabling rapid data transfer through its Fibre Channel switch, it helps ensure that organisations can maintain quick recovery times in the event of data loss, making it an essential piece for high-performance data backup infrastructure.
