HPE StoreFabric 8/24 8Gb Bundled Fibre Channel Switch - Switch - managed - 16 x 8Gb Fibre Channel SFP - rack-mountable - remarketed

The HPE 8/24 SAN switch addresses the needs of SMB organizations as well as large enterprises by functioning as a standalone core switch or as lower-cost edge switch in large core-to-edge tiered storage networks. The 8/24 SAN switches provides unprecedented investment protection. The 8/24 SAN switch with 24 enabled ports may be deployed as a full-fabric switch or in Access Gateway mode, which provides connectivity into any SAN (the default mode setting is a switch). Access Gateway mode utilizes NPIV switch standards to present Fiber Channel connections as logical devices to SAN fabrics.

• Provides the highest performance available, with complete backward and forward investment protection
• Simplifies SAN management, negating the need to map application performance requirements to port speeds
• Provides seamless server connectivity to multi-vendor fabric environments, and allows a great number of servers to connect to a SAN fabric without increasing switch domain count
• Optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to all available paths in the fabric
• Remove/avoid performance bottlenecks in high-density virtualized server environments
• Advanced fabric services to optimize SAN performance and resource utilization
• Delivers low latency, power efficiency, and high reliability while providing a highly scalable and flexible platform for advanced fabric services
