The HPE 489864-002 B-series 8/12c San Switch Blade system C-class is a high-performance storage area network (SAN) switch that is designed to provide enterprise-class connectivity and performance to a wide range of storage environments. The architecture and design of the HPE 489864-002 B-series 8/12c San Switch Blade system C-class reflect its purpose and are optimized for reliability, scalability, and ease of use.
The HPE 489864-002 B-series 8/12c San Switch Blade system C-class is designed as a blade system, which means that it can be installed in a blade chassis and operates as a component of that chassis. This design allows for easy installation and configuration, as well as simplified management of multiple switches in a single chassis.
The switch is based on a modular architecture, with each blade providing up to 8 or 12 ports of Fibre Channel connectivity. The switch supports a variety of speeds, ranging from 2 Gbps to 16 Gbps, and can be upgraded through firmware updates to support higher speeds as they become available.
The HPE 489864-002 B-series 8/12c San Switch Blade system C-class is designed for high availability, with redundant components such as power supplies, fans, and management modules. This ensures that the switch is always available to handle critical storage traffic, even in the event of a component failure.
The switch also features advanced traffic management capabilities, including support for Quality of Service (QoS) and prioritization of traffic based on application requirements. This ensures that mission-critical storage traffic is given priority over less important traffic, improving overall system performance.
