The Brocade 16 Gb FC SAN switch module for HPE Synergy enables data center consolidation with HPE Synergy Frame through a state-of-the-art zero-footprint design while lowering cost through shared power and cooling, fewer cables and SFPs and a reduction in space. Enables support of virtualized environments through 16 Gb/s Fiber traditional Fiber Channel switch performance. Internal and external facing ports auto-sense lower bandwidth components for flexibility and investment protection (4, 8 or 16 Gb/s for external ports). The Brocade 16 Gb Fiber Channel switch module for HPE Synergy offers a non-blocking architecture, that supports high aggregate device bandwidth. Supports multiple trunks, max trunk size of up to 8 FC ports or up to 2 QSFP ports to 128 Gb/s balanced throughput per each trunk group. Trunking of the SAN-facing ports with HPE B-series switches provides a high-bandwidth solution while lowering costs through fewer SFPs and cables. Enables organizations to better manage data flows and meet service level agreements while maintaining optimized application performance in virtual environments with adaptive networking services.
