The HPE Virtual Connect 64Gb FC Switch for HPE Synergy provides industry-leading performance with <700ns frame latency for fast switching, switching bandwidth up to 1,536 Gbps to enable demanding applications and high-density server virtualization. It is ideal for enterprises planning to deploy 64Gb FC to meet the ever-growing bandwidth demands of high-density virtualization/applications utilizing top-end Storage arrays and for customers looking to deploy scalable private cloud storage networks using HPE Synergy for workloads.
HPE Virtual Connect 64Gb FC Switch Module for HPE Synergy is designed with NVMe in mind and provides next-generation storage connectivity to existing storage networks. It provides scalability with 12 external SFP+ ports each supporting 64Gb, 32Gb, and 16Gb FC speeds that customers can utilize on-demand parallel with their business growth. And since it is an integrated part of the Synergy Frame design, it lowers TCO, frees-up rack space, enables shared power and cooling, and reduces cabling resulting in significant infrastructure savings.
The HPE Virtual Connect 64Gb Fibre Channel Module for HPE Synergy is protected by HPE Services 3-Years Next Business Day 9x5 Hardware Support. |

Industry Standard NPIV Support The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel module works by aggregating multiple FC HBA ports over a single N-port uplink through the use of N_port_ID virtualization (NPIV). NPIV allows multiple distinguishable identities (multiple port WWNs and port IDs) over a single N-port connection. Most Fibre Channel SAN switch vendors have support for NPIV in their latest firmware release. By conforming to the NPIV standard, SAN equipment interoperability is simplified. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module Provides basic 4:1, 8:1, or 12:1 NPIV Fibre Channel concentration. |
|
Data Center Connectivity Each Virtual Connect Fibre Channel module supports up to 12 SAN fabrics and is typically connected to a Fibre Channel switch that has been configured to run in NPIV mode. The 12 uplink ports are speed selectable from 16, 32, or 64Gb/s.
The setup allows SAN administrators to name the fabric that servers will connect into and set the oversubscription rate. Fibre Channel boot parameters and WWN administration are configurable options that can be integrated into server profiles.
In an NPIV environment, there is an initial brief login function between the Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module and the data center switch. Once completed, all HBA connections appear as though they are directly connected between the compute modules and the SAN switch. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module appears as a pass-through device to the SAN, yet cables are reduced as much as 12:1. |
|
Management Features - Simple and intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) of composer-based HPE OneView for defining, configuring, and managing all elements of the SAN. - Comprehensive administration, definition, and management of Ethernet Networks, Shared Uplink Sets using VLANs, SAN Fabric management, and Server Profiles. - Management of user accounts, enclosure, Virtual Connect settings, and firmware updates. - WWN Address Administration allows local administration of predefined WWN addresses ranges to allow pre-provisioning of SAN volumes. |
