1 HP StorageWorks 8-Gb SAN Switches
This chapter describes HP 8-Gb SAN Switches.
Overview
Each HP StorageWorks 8-Gb SAN Switch delivers ASIC technology and architecture for Fibre Channel
SANs. The 8-Gb SAN Switches are high-performance switches designed for the needs of enterprise
environments that require a high-port footprint for port aggregation. Additionally, the 8-Gb Encryption
SAN Switch provides cryptography (encryption/decryption) and data compression capabilities, while
the FCoE Converged Network Switch provides low-latency lossless CEE ports, and 8-Gb FC ports in
a single switch. The 1606 Extension SAN Switch is a platform for FCIP, enabling the transmission of
Fibre Channel data over long distances, in addition to providing 8-Gb FC ports for switching and
routing.
The 8-Gb SAN Switches satisfy demanding RAS, performance, and scalability requirements of an
enterprise switch while delivering interoperability and ease-of-use advantages. The 8-Gb SAN Switches
are the latest offering from the HP StorageWorks family of entry-to-enterprise products.
