Description
Energy Efficiency and Power Management Capabilities
The AK860B HPE Dc San Director 8GB Fibre Channel 48-Ports Switch is designed with energy efficiency and power management capabilities to help reduce energy consumption and costs for data center operations.
Energy efficiency: The switch includes features such as low power consumption modes, advanced cooling, and power supply redundancy to help reduce energy consumption. The switch also supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) which reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity.
Power management: The switch includes features such as power capping and advanced power management to help manage power consumption. Power capping allows administrators to set a maximum power consumption limit for the switch, helping to prevent power overconsumption. Advanced power management allows administrators to monitor power consumption and adjust settings as needed to optimize power usage.
In addition, the switch also includes a number of other advanced features to help improve energy efficiency and power management, such as:
- Dynamic power management, which adjusts power consumption based on actual usage
- Automatic power-down of inactive ports
- Power supply redundancy, which helps to ensure that the switch continues to operate even if one of the power supplies fails.
