HP SN8000B 4-slot SAN Director Switch
The HP B-series SAN Director Switch portfolio is the industry’s most powerful Fibre Channel switching infrastructure, providing the most reliable, scalable, high-performance foundation for private cloud storage and highly virtualized environments. The SN8000B leverages proven DC SAN Director Switch technology and consists of an 8-slot 14U chassis and a 4-slot 9U chassis. The director provides up to 384 16Gb FC ports and up to 32 QSFP based Inter Chassis Links (ICLs) which are equivalent to 128 16Gb FC ports. It also provide up to 8.2 Tbps of total aggregate bandwidth and 512 Gbps of slot bandwidth.
The DC SAN Director Switch targets traditional data centers and consist of an 8-slot 14U chassis and a 4-slot 9U chassis. The director provides up to 512 8Gb FC ports for 4.1 Tbps of total aggregate bandwidth and 256 Gbps of slot bandwidth. In the future, customers may convert a DC chassis in production environments to a SN8000B Director with non-disruptive core blade replacements.
