The HP 8/80 SAN Switch is ideal for medium- to large-sized organizations that need a scalable, high-availability solution that will

facilitate consolidation and the flexibility to meet rapidly evolving storage requirements. Whether an organization's requirements call

for a standalone high port count switch, a high port count core switch, or a large building block for a tiered enterprise fabric, the 8/80

SAN Switch provides the highest performance, highest scalability, availability, and best investment protection available to meet the

needs of today's consolidated virtual data center.

To support mission-critical environments, the 8/80 SAN Switch features a non-blocking architecture with as many as 80 ports

concurrently active at 8 Gbit/sec full duplex with no over-subscription-providing an aggregate bandwidth of 1280 Gbit/sec. Inter-

Switch Link (ISL) trunking can supply up to 64 Gbit/sec of balanced data throughput to reduce congestion and increase bandwidth. It

also supports new virtualization technologies that are driving efficiency and flexibility benefits. For example, organizations that have

deployed virtual server environments require higher levels of connectivity for consolidation and higher levels of performance to cost-

effectively meet the demands of virtual data centers.

The 8/80 SAN Switch is an 8Gb Fibre Channel Switch and delivers up to 80 ports in a 2u footprint. The switch is available in two models

with a 16 port upgrade license to add ports non-disruptively:

HP 8/80 SAN Switch Power Pack+ with 48 active ports and value added software

HP 8/80 SAN Switch with 48 active ports (Base)

The density of the 8/80 SAN Switch uniquely enables fan-out from the core of the data center fabric with less than half the number of

switch devices to manage compared to traditional 32- or 40-port edge switches. When deployed as a core SAN fabric switch, the fully

enabled 80 port SAN Switch provides a single-switch core footprint that is ideal for SAN fan-out using lower-density B-series switches.

This single-domain solution is ideal for environments that have high port count needs but do not require the capabilities of a director-

class fabric core.

The 8/80 SAN Switch provides a reliable SAN foundation by employing enterprise-class availability features such as hot-swappable,

redundant, and integrated fan and power supply assemblies. Moreover, hot code load and activation help maximize application uptime

with faster system upgrades and maintenance to reduce the dependency on scheduled outages. Combined with a wide range of

diagnostic and monitoring functions, these capabilities help provide a highly available SAN environment.

As an option for connecting switches in a fabric, the 8/80 SAN Switch provides Fibre Channel Integrated Routing capabilities. Integrated

Routing provides native Fibre Channel Routing on a per-port basis rather than limiting routing to special-purpose routing switches or

blades. Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports to import/export devices between fabrics, enabling selective device sharing while

maintaining remote fabric isolation for higher levels of scalability and fault isolation

The 8/80 SAN Switch Power Pack+ includes the 8/80 SAN Switch (Base) with additional software: Fabric Vision, Fabric Watch, ISL

Trunking, Extended Fabric and Performance Monitor. Power Pack+ software provides the SAN administrator with the necessary tools

to monitor the health and performance of the network, while also ensuring the highest levels of security, scalability and manageability.

Power Pack+ software enables infrastructure management through a single-pane-of-glass.

The 8/80 SAN Switch enables organizations to use 4 Gbit/sec SFPs today and upgrade to 8 Gbit/sec SFPs, so they can fully leverage

their existing IT resources and seamlessly incorporate new capabilities as necessary.
