Ordering Information
The HPE 8/80 SAN switch is ideal for medium- to large-sized organizations that need a scalable, high-availability solution that will facilitate consolidation and the flexibility to meet rapidly evolving storage requirements. Whether an organization's requirements call for a standalone high port count switch, a high port count core switch, or a large building block for a tiered enterprise fabric, the 8/80 SAN switch provides the highest performance, highest scalability, availability, and best investment protection available to meet the needs of today's consolidated virtual data center.
To supports mission-critical environments, the 8/80 SAN switch features a non-blocking architecture with as many as 80 ports concurrently active at 8 Gbps full duplex with no over-subscription-providing an aggregate bandwidth of 1280 Gbps. Inter-Switch Link (ISL) trunking can supply up to 64 Gbps of balanced data throughput to reduce congestion and increase bandwidth. It also supports virtualization technologies that are driving efficiency and flexibility benefits. For example, organizations that have deployed virtual server environments require higher levels of connectivity for consolidation and higher levels of performance to cost-effectively meet the demands of virtual data centers.
