QW927-63002 HP SN8000C 9-Slot Fiber Channel Supervisor 2A Director Rack-Mountable Network Switch

HP SN8000C 9-Slot QW927-63002

Designed for block-storage networks where predictable latency and lossless delivery are required, the HP SN8000C 9-Slot (QW927-63002) is a Fibre Channel switch from HP.

Dedicated storage networking keeps SAN traffic separate from your LAN for predictable performance and stronger security. Dedicated SAN switching protects storage performance from spikes in general network traffic. Use it to grow an existing SAN or replace an identical switch. Confirm HBA, array and transceiver compatibility before joining it to an existing fabric. Inter-switch links let you expand the fabric as your storage footprint grows. Dual, independent fabrics are a common SAN design for redundant server-to-storage paths.

Its rack-mountable form factor fits neatly into equipment rooms, cabinets or workspaces. Standard switch models in each fabric make upgrades more predictable. Paired switches let you service one fabric while storage access continues on the other. Storage vendors publish interoperability matrices worth checking before rollout. As a storage-specific protocol, Fibre Channel offers predictable, lossless delivery. A well-designed SAN fabric makes it easier to migrate data, add arrays and scale virtualization clusters. Match the part number QW927-63002 against your existing equipment for a seamless replacement or expansion. Order the QW927-63002 today to add reliable storage networking to your infrastructure.
