Product Description

The Fiber Channel SAN Switch 8-EL delivers the same robust functionality found in the Compaq 8-port SAN switch in a new, cost reduced, entry-level package. Featuring seven fixed media short wave optical transceivers and one removable GBIC based port in a sealed 1U high chassis, the Fiber Channel SAN Switch 8-EL is an excellent choice for connecting edge devices to a larger SAN fabric or for constructing low cost full fabric SANs. In its base configuration, any one port can be configured as a switch to switch (E-port) connection for seamlessly integrating with other Fiber Channel SAN switches. Multiple switch to switch (E-port) connections can be enabled on the SAN Switch 8-EL with the addition of the Multiple E-port Connectivity Option.Except for the QuickLoop for HP-UX software and single E-port connectivity, each Fiber Channel SAN Switch 8-EL ships with the same value added software bundle and functionality included with every Fiber Channel SAN Switch 8 or SAN Switch 16 including Fabric Operating System software, WEB Based Management Tools, Zoning software, and StorageWorks Command Console. The Fiber Channel SAN Switch 8-EL supports full fabric connectivity for all the same operating system and storage systems as the SAN Switch 8 and SAN switch 16 products and is 100% compatible with them.
