SAN SWITCH HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch
The 8/20q Fibre Channel switches and fabric rules
- The 8/20q Fibre Channel Switches:
• Can be used as core or edge switches. When configured in a core-edge fabric topology, a
core switch typically connects to other switches in the SAN; an edge switch typically connects
to servers and storage.
• Support multi-switch networks with up to 30 switches and 7 hops.
• Have 8 or 16 base ports, which you can upgrade to 20 ports in 4-port increments.
• Support plug-and-play compatibility.
- The 8 Gb Simple SAN Connection Kit offers:
• Ease of use
• Cost efficiency
The kit includes:
◦ An 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch (8 base ports that can be upgraded to 12, 16, or 20)
◦ (4) 81Q PCI-e FC HBAs
◦ (10) 8-Gb SFP+ transceivers (SFP+ is the expanded standard for 8-Gb Fibre Channel
support.)
◦ (6) Fiber optic cables
