The HP Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem is a high-performance interconnect that simplifies server connections by cleanly separating the server enclosure from the SAN. It reduces cabling and simplifies SAN management for c-Class server blades while adding the unique ability to add and replace servers or move workloads without impacting their SAN connections. This module features 8 external 8Gb Fibre Channel ports and 16 internal 8Gb ports, delivering high-speed data transfer essential for demanding applications and high-density server virtualization. It utilizes N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) technology to aggregate multiple FC HBA ports over a single N-port uplink, allowing for efficient and reliable connectivity across the infrastructure without adding to the SAN switch domain management complexity.
