HP 8/8 SAN Switch is targeted for SMB enterprises & is ideal for entry-level SANs, & as an edge switch for core-to-edge SAN environments. The 8/8 SAN Switch provides SAN connectivity that improves system performance, maximizes the value of virtual server deployments, & reduces overall storage costs. The 8/8 Base SAN Switch provides an affordable single-switch solution for a new, small SAN installation & connects to storage & servers only. An optional Full Fabric SAN scaling license provides connectivity to other switches. This comes with a Full Fabric license & may be connected to multiple switches. Both 8 port switches provide growth options to non-disruptively scale to a max of 24 enabled ports. The 8/8 SAN Switch provides auto-sensing 1, 2, 4, & 8 Gb full duplex performance to enable up to 128 Gb of throughput. For investment protection, the 8/8 SAN Switch may be populated with 4 Gb B-Series SFPs today & upgraded to 8 Gb B-Series SFPS when necessary. ...

The HP Storage Works 8 Gb PCIe Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance & efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 4 Gb HBAs. An 8 Gb FC HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 4 & 2 Gb storage networks & will protect future investments. When using storage intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, & rich media, the increased performance of the 8 Gb infrastructure enables more rapid storage & retrieval of critical information. Finally, 8 Gb PCIe FC Host Bus Adapters provide a number of features that work together to reduce power consumption, thus delivering a "green" benefit within the server. ...

HP Storage Works 81Q PCI-e Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance & efficiency. The HP Storage Works 81Q PCI-e FC Host Bus Adapter is priced only slightly higher than an equivalent 4 Gb HBA, yet, it has the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance. In addition, an 8 Gb FC HBA purchased today will protect your investment longer than if you were to purchase an equivalent 4 Gb HBA. If you are using storage intensive applications, such as rich media, the increased performance of the 8 Gb infrastructure means that you can store & retrieve critical information faster. The virtualization of servers has become an important capability for most datacenters. The ability to improve overall server utilization, resulting in significant cost savings, has made server virtualization a "must-have" for most enterprises. By having an HBA that supports & maximizes your server virtualization efforts, you are protecting your significant investments in virtualization technology. Since most of todays datacenters are required to be available 24 X 7, it is critical that infrastructure components have failover capabilities. By installing redundant HBAs into your servers, you can feel confident that your servers will remain connected to mission-critical stored data. Finally, todays enterprises are becoming more & more sensitive to the power consumption within the datacenter. The 81Q PCI-e FC Host Bus Adapter provides a number of features that work together to reduce power consumption, thus delivering a "green" benefit within the server. ...
