The HP StorageWorks SAN Director 6-port 10Gb Fibre Channel Blade (Part Number: AK861A) is a high-performance, plug-in module designed for expanding connectivity within storage area networks (SANs). This specific blade offers six ports of 10Gb Fibre Channel, providing reliable data transmission and exceptional bandwidth for critical enterprise environments. The module is built to fit into compatible SAN directors, enhancing system scalability and robustness while maintaining a simplified network infrastructure.
The unit's plug-in module design ensures easy integration into existing setups without the need for extensive reconfiguration. It also supports high-speed data movement between SAN switches, ensuring that the primary network traffic flows seamlessly and without interruption. Each blade is capable of handling demanding workloads, making it a suitable choice for enterprises with high data transfer needs, such as database applications, backup, and virtualisation environments.
This blade supports advanced Fibre Channel technology, ensuring faster and more efficient SAN data traffic, while also featuring an architecture optimised for high availability. Redundancy capabilities mean that this module can function even in the event of a failure in another part of the SAN fabric, boosting overall system resilience. The unit is hot-swappable, meaning it can be updated or replaced without bringing down the rest of the network, ensuring that crucial systems stay online during maintenance or upgrades.
