HPE 572213-001 FlexFabric 10GB/24-Port Module

Detailed Specifications

The HPE 572213-001 is a Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port module designed for the HPE c-Class BladeSystem enclosure. This interconnect module provides a streamlined and converged network solution for connecting server blades to data and storage networks. It is engineered to reduce network complexity and cabling by converging Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and iSCSI traffic onto a single, flexible interface, making it ideal for virtualized enterprise data center environments. At its core, the module leverages Flex-10 technology to partition each 10Gb server connection into multiple virtual network adapters. This allows for granular bandwidth allocation for data and storage traffic from a single physical connection. Administrators can define network connections and profiles once and then provision or modify them on the fly without physically altering cables, significantly simplifying server adds, moves, and changes. Deployment of the 572213-001 occurs within the interconnect bays of an HPE BladeSystem c7000 or c3000 enclosure. Its plug-in module form factor allows for straightforward installation. Management is integrated into the Virtual Connect Manager, providing a unified console for configuring LAN and SAN connections for the entire enclosure, which reduces administrative overhead and eliminates the need for multiple management tools.
