The HP StorageWorks 4/48 SAN Director Blade (Part Number: AG561BR) is a highly efficient, modular component designed to provide robust fibre channel switching capability for enterprise-level storage area networks (SANs). It offers 48 ports, allowing for extensive connectivity in a SAN environment, and is designed for use in HP StorageWorks Director-class systems.
This product is a plug-in module, enabling straightforward integration into existing infrastructure. Each of the 48 ports supports fibre channel transfers, providing high-speed data transport in SAN architectures. Additionally, the module's ability to facilitate multi-path routing ensures enhanced redundancy and fault tolerance across the network, supporting mission-critical applications with high availability requirements.
The AG561BR enables 4 Gbps port speeds, supporting the quick and efficient transfer of large datasets, making it ideal for enterprises with high-volume data storage needs. As this blade operates within the broader HP StorageWorks Director chassis, it helps organisations achieve scale while streamlining management through a centralised controller.
Because it is designed for the HP StorageWorks Director-series, this blade supports not only current fibre channel environments but can also offer support for legacy 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps speeds, ensuring compatibility within heterogeneous SAN ecosystems. Its modular design is intended to future-proof SAN investments by allowing for easy upgrades as network demands grow.
