HPE 466539-001

Virtual Connect 24-Port 8Gb Fibre Channel Network Switch Module

The HPE 466539-001 Virtual Connect 24-Port 8GbFibre Channel Switch Module is a high-performance connectivity solution designed to simplify server-to-SAN connections in enterprise data centers. Part of the HPEVirtual Connect family, this module eliminates the need for traditional Fibre Channel switches by directly linking server blades in HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosures to external SAN fabrics. With 24 Fibre Channel ports running at 8Gb speeds, it delivers high bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for demanding workloads.Built to reduce complexity and cost, the Virtual Connect FC Module allows administrators to consolidate multiple server connections, streamline SAN management, and minimize cabling requirements. Ideal for data-intensive applications, cloud computing, and storage virtualization, this module provides flexibility, scalability, and enterprise-grade performance for modern IT infrastructures.

Features

The HPEVirtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port Fibre Channel Module (466539-001) integrates seamlessly with HPEBladeSystem environments, enabling direct server connectivity to SAN fabrics without requiring each server to be zoned or managed individually. By abstracting server connections, it allows IT teams to manage SAN access as a pooled resource, significantly simplifying administration and enabling faster server provisioning.With full support for NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) and interoperability with Brocade and Cisco SAN fabrics, this module is a versatile choice for hybrid enterprise storage deployments. Its 8Gb Fibre Channel speed ensures consistent high-performance throughput, supporting applications such as database servers, virtualization clusters, and enterprise storage arrays. Engineered for reliability and efficiency, the HPE466539-001 ensures that mission-critical workloads benefit from maximum uptime and performance scalability.

Advanced Options

The HPE466539-001 Virtual Connect 24-Port 8Gb FC Network Switch Module is designed for enterprise-grade reliability and continuous data access. Its high-density 8Gb Fibre Channel ports provide the throughput needed for mission-critical workloads while reducing latency in storage transactions. By consolidating multiple server connections into fewer uplinks, it lowers costs while improving overall SAN efficiency.
