571956-B21 HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module

Hewlett Packard Enterprise BladeSystem Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port. Switch type: Managed. Basic switching RJ-45 Ethernet ports quantity: 24

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 four adjustable connections (three data and one storage or all data) to each 10 Gb server port.

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

Simplify the Server Edge with 95% Consolidation and Faster Deployment of Network Connections

• The HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module cuts 95% of hardware to connect servers to networks: Only two 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.
