80-1000314-08 HP Brocade BladeSystem 43579 Power Pack SAN Network Switch

HP Brocade BladeSystem 43579 80-1000314-08

The HP Brocade BladeSystem 43579 (80-1000314-08) is a Fibre Channel blade switch designed for small to large Fibre Channel fabrics in the data center.

Standard Fibre Channel fabric services, such as zoning and name server, support secure, well-organized storage connectivity. Integrated in the blade enclosure, it gives blade servers direct SAN access with fewer cables. Check host bus adapter, storage array and optic compatibility before adding the switch to an existing fabric. Choose FC optics rated for the link speed you plan to run. A separate storage fabric means LAN congestion does not affect disk I/O. Inter-switch links let you expand the fabric as your storage footprint grows. Redundant fabrics give every host and array a backup path to storage.

Confirm it matches your blade enclosure and the I/O bay you plan to use. Quote 80-1000314-08 when ordering to receive this exact configuration. Review your storage vendor's interoperability guidance to confirm supported firmware levels before deployment. Matching switch models across fabrics simplifies firmware and support. Good fabric design makes data migration and array expansion much easier. Zoning adds a layer of access control between servers and storage. The HP Brocade BladeSystem 43579 is a smart investment for anyone who needs HP SAN switching.
