Overview
HP StorageWorks Converged Network Switches provide a reliable platform that helps reduce cable clutter, equipment acquisition costs, and operational costs associated with power consumption and cooling. The switch features a 1U form factor and low power consumption, delivering a “greener” data center. The HP 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch model features 8 Fibre Channel ports for 8 Gbit/sec performance along with 24 Ethernet ports for 10 Gbit/sec performance. The 10 Gbit Ethernet ports support Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) which increase the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. These features allow support of multiple traffic classes over lossless Ethernet fabric, thus enabling consolidation of LAN, SAN, and cluster environments.
