The HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16, part number 322118-B21, is a rack-mountable, Fibre Channel switch designed to cater to small to medium-scale storage area network (SAN) environments. This switch offers 16 active ports, which provide flexibility for both entry-level and growing infrastructures. Each port supports 2.125 Gbps communication speeds, allowing for fast data transfers in SAN environments.
The switch is built for straightforward installation and management, featuring a 1U rack-mountable form factor that is ideal for space-constrained data centres. An important attribute of this model is its use of Fibre Channel technology, which ensures reliable and fast data exchange between servers and storage devices. This also makes it highly compatible with a range of SAN fabrics.
Outfitted with a modular architecture, this switch can accommodate different network demands through flexible connectivity options. For ease of management, it integrates seamlessly with HP's comprehensive StorageWorks Device Management software, permitting administrators to monitor port activity and identify issues quickly.
Given that it is a rack-mountable switch, the 322118-B21 ensures that organisations can scale their SAN infrastructure efficiently without occupying excessive space. It also supports advanced features like zoning capabilities to provide secure partitioning between different zones of storage, an essential function for ensuring proper data segregation based on application or user needs.
The compact design, combined with high-speed port offerings, makes the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16 an excellent choice for businesses looking for a scalable and manageable SAN switch solution.
