The HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port Fibre Channel Module (Part number: 466482-B21) is designed to simplify the management of server blade connectivity in data centres. This plug-in module enables up to 24 ports of fibre channel connectivity, offering high performance and flexibility for enterprise-level networking environments.
Operating at a speed of 8Gbps, it ensures fast, reliable data transmission necessary for optimised storage and networking. This module is fully compatible with HP BladeSystem enclosures, leveraging a virtualised environment to streamline the deployment and management of server blades.
The module includes up to 24 Fibre Channel ports, which provide flexible scalability. These ports can be used to create point-to-point connections between the server blades and fibre channel-based storage. This is especially useful for reducing the physical cabling complexity that typically accompanies traditional SAN environments.
This plug-in module provides significant reduction in hardware requirements by enabling shared SAN connections, thus minimising the number of required switches and network interface cards. It is an integral part of the HP BladeSystem infrastructure, offering high network throughput, less cabling, and simplified overall management with Virtual Connect technology.
Administrators can easily access the module’s features through a familiar web-based interface, simplifying the setup and monitoring of systems. The module is designed to integrate into existing HP systems without the need to reconfigure network topologies, making it a highly adaptable solution for businesses aiming to streamline network management and connectivity.
