The HP Storage Works 8/24 SAN switch range in size from 16 to 24 ports, functioning as standalone core switches or as lower-cost edge switches in large core-to-edge tiered storage networks. As a result, it can meet the needs of small & medium-size organizations as well as very large enterprises. With Ports on Demand upgrades, organizations can minimize their upfront investment while maintaining their ability to scale in low-cost "pay-as-you-grow" increments in the future. With a design that provides full 8 Gbit/sec non-blocking, full-duplex performance on every port, HP 8/24 SAN Switch meets the higher performance levels required by consolidated, virtualized environments. With easy-to-use management tools & wizards, & full line rate performance on every port, organizations can streamline implementation & ongoing management in a wide range of environments. The 8/24 SAN switches also provide unprecedented investment protection. Auto-sensing ports that support backward compatibility with 1, 2, 4, & 8 Gbit/sec devices significantly reduce deployment complexity & costs, while providing compatibility with installed devices. Organizations that do not require 8 Gbit/sec interfaces can populate the new switches with 4 Gbit/sec. SFPs, while preserving their ability to easily upgrade to 8 Gbit/sec. SFPs in the future. The 8/24 SAN Switch with 24 enabled ports may be deployed as a full-fabric switch or in Access Gateway mode, which provides connectivity into any SAN (the default mode setting is a switch). Access Gateway mode utilizes NPIV switch standards to present Fibered Channel connections as logical devices to SAN fabrics. ...

The 8/8 SAN Switch is targeted for small to medium sized enterprises & is ideal for entry-level SANs, & as an edge switch for core-to-edge SAN environments.

The introduction of the HP Storage Works 8 Gb PCIe Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapters brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance & efficiency. The HP Storage Works 8 Gb PCIe FC Host Bus Adapters are priced only slightly higher than an equivalent 4 Gb HBA, yet, they have the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance. If you are using storage intensive applications, such as backup / restore, database transactions, & 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 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. Please note: server components such as memory & power supplies must match those already installed in a server.
