HP AJ822B 

Brocade 8/24c Power Pack+ Fibre Channel SAN Switch for BladeSystem c‑Class

The HP AJ822B Brocade 8/24c Power Pack+ Fibre Channel SAN Switch is a high-performance Fibre Channel switch module designed for seamless integration into HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures. Supporting up to 24 ports at 8 Gb/s, it delivers scalable, efficient, and resilient SAN connectivity for enterprise and virtualized storage environments.

Features

This embedded Fibre Channel SAN Switch module integrates with the c-Class chassis, leveraging shared power and cooling to reduce rack footprint and cabling complexity . It comes configured with 16 internal backplane ports and 8 external SFP+ ports (ships with four 8 Gb shortwave SFP+ modules), offering full Fibre Channel connectivity and scalability up to 24 active ports.

Advanced Options

Aggregate bandwidth reaches up to 384 Gb/s (24 ports × 8 Gbps × full duplex), enabling trunking of the eight SAN-facing external ports to reach up to 64 Gbps of balanced throughput with external switches . The “Power Pack+” model adds features like Adaptive Fabric QoS, traffic isolation, and ingress rate limiting to optimize SAN performance and SLA compliance.

Product Key Features

    •  Up to 24 Fibre Channel ports: 16 internal + 8 external SFP+ (8 Gbps each)

    •  Hot-pluggable module designed for HP BladeSystem c‑Class enclosures

    •  Supports Auto-sensing at 2/4/8 Gbps for backward compatibility

    •  Includes Adaptive Fabric QoS, traffic isolation, ingress rate limiting

    •  Enterprise features: NPIV, trunking, zoning, advanced fabric services

    •  Managed via SNMP, Telnet, HTTP, BladeSystem Onboard Administrator integration


Reliability & Performance

Engineered for data center resiliency, the AJ822B supports NPIV for scalable virtualization and domain interoperability. Advanced traffic controls like fabric QoS and rate limiting ensure predictable performance under load. Integrated management over SNMP, Telnet, HTTP, SMI‑S, and compatibility with HP Onboard Administrator or Storage Essentials simplifies deployment Built as a hot-swappable module, it ensures minimal disruption during upgrades or maintenance. The embedded design delivers exceptional efficiency through shared power and cooling resources in the BladeSystem enclosure.

Key Features :

  • 16 internal Fibre Channel ports + 8 external SFP+ ports (8 Gbps each)

  • Hot-pluggable for BladeSystem c-Class chassis

  • Auto-negotiation: 2/4/8 Gbps speeds per port

  • Adaptive Fabric QoS, ingress rate limiting, traffic isolation

  • Port-on-demand scalability up to 24 ports

  • Supports NPIV, zoning, trunking, advanced fabric services

  • Managed via SNMP, Telnet, HTTP, SMI‑S, or BladeSystem tools
