The HP StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch 16-EL (Part Number: 212776-B21) is a high-performance, reliable switch designed for desktop deployment in small to medium-sized storage area networks (SANs). This model supports up to 16 ports of full-duplex Fibre Channel connections, allowing for data transfer rates of up to 2 Gbps per port. These high speeds make it suitable for environments requiring fast and efficient data transfers, such as virtualized data centers, scalable storage solutions, and enterprise-level backups.
One of the key features of the 212776-B21 is its non-blocking architecture, which ensures that all ports can process data simultaneously without bottlenecks, maximizing throughput across the network. It also includes self-healing fabric services, which enhances resiliency by automatically detecting and correcting port issues, contributing to nearly uninterrupted operation, a critical requirement for SAN environments.
The switch is encased in a compact desktop form factor, ideal for installations where limited rack space is a concern. It also offers management options via a command-line interface, which gives network administrators precise control over traffic flows, port monitoring, and configuration settings. Additionally, the 212776-B21 offers zoning support, which enables the segmentation of a network into different zones for enhanced security and traffic isolation.
Overall, the HP StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch 16-EL is an economical entry point into Fibre Channel networking, providing essential features such as high data throughput, reliable fabric services, and flexible zoning without requiring extensive rack space.
