The HPE Brocade 16GB/28 Fiber Channel SFP+ Managed Switch C8S46A is a high-performance switch that is designed for use in data center and enterprise environments. The switch provides high-speed data transfer, advanced quality of service, advanced security, easy management, high-density connectivity and compatibility.
The switch has 28 ports, which allows for a high number of connections and increases the scalability of the network. It supports Fibre Channel protocol, which is a high-speed, highly reliable data transfer method for storage area networks (SANs). This allows the switch to connect SANs to each other and to servers, providing high-speed data transfer and low-latency access to storage.
The switch also has a maximum data transfer rate of 16 Gbps, which allows for fast and reliable data transfer between the switch and connected devices. It also supports advanced Quality of Service (QoS) which allows for better traffic management and improved network performance. This allows for the prioritization of different types of network traffic, such as voice or video, to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need to function properly.
The switch also supports advanced security features such as Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) which provides protection against unauthorized access to SANs. This improves network security and helps to protect sensitive data.
The switch is also easy to manage, it supports web-based management, allowing for easy configuration and monitoring of the switch. HPE provides technical support and warranty for this switch.
Performance of Fibre ChannelThe performance of the HPE Brocade 16GB/28 Fiber Channel SFP+ Managed Switch C8S46A is determined by several factors, including its data transfer rate, network scalability, and its ability to handle high network traffic.
The C8S46A switch has a maximum data transfer rate of 16 Gbps, which allows for fast and reliable data transfer between the switch and connected devices. This high-speed data transfer rate is well-suited for high-bandwidth applications such as data center and enterprise environments.

High Density ConnectivityThe HPE Brocade 16GB/28 Fiber Channel SFP+ Managed Switch C8S46A offers high-density connectivity, which means it has a high number of ports that allow for a high number of connections to devices and networks. This feature increases the scalability of the network and allows for more devices to be connected to the switch.
The C8S46A switch has 28 ports, which allows for a high number of connections. This feature makes it well-suited for use in large-scale data center and enterprise environments where a high number of devices need to be connected to the network. With high-density connectivity, the switch can handle a large number of devices and still maintain high-speed data transfer and low-latency access to storage.
Additionally, high-density connectivity also allows for more efficient use of network resources, as more devices can be connected to a single switch, reducing the need for additional switches and cabling. This can help to reduce the overall cost and complexity of a network.
