HP BLC VC FLEXFABRIC ACCS 10GB/24-PORT O

Overview
HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Modules are the simplest, most converged and flexible way to connect virtualized server blades to any data or storage network. VC FlexFabric modules eliminate up to 95% of network sprawl at the server edge with one device that converges traffic inside enclosures and directly connects to LANs and SANs.

Using Flex-10 technology with Fibre Channel over Ethernet and Accelerated iSCSI, these modules converge traffic over high speed 10 Gb connections to servers with HP FlexFabric Adapters. Each module provides 4 adjustable connections (3 data and 1 storage or all data) to each 10 Gb server port.

VC FlexFabric modules avoid the confusion of traditional and other converged network solutions by eliminating the need for multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches, extension modules, cables ﹠ software licenses. Also, Virtual Connect wire-once connection management is built-in enabling server adds, moves ﹠ replacement in minutes instead of days.

Features
Simplify the server edge with 95% consolidation and faster deployment of network connections

⁍ Cut 95% of hardware to connect servers to networks: Only 2 VC FlexFabric modules connect an enclosure of HP server blades to both data and storage networks eliminating multiple switches, cards, and cables.


Flexible configuration of network and storage connection quantity and performance

⁍ One flexible interconnect connects to any network: One device supports most common data center network protocols: Ethernet, Fibre Channel, iSCSI.


Upgrade your network with investment protection and no process changes

⁍ 100% compatible with current networks: Seamless connection to existing industry standard data and storage networks avoids fork-lift upgrades.
