The HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16-EL provides the
configuration flexibility and performance needed by
corporate storage network infrastructures. The SAN Switch
2/16-EL delivers sixteen high performance auto sensing 1
and 2 Gb Fibre Channel ports. It’s fully non-blocking and
provides uncongested sustained, 2 Gb full duplex
throughput. The SAN Switch 2/16-EL has universal,
self-configuring (F, FL, E) ports and includes Web Tools,
Quickloop and Advanced Zoning features. The switch
features highly networked capabilities that can be
incorporated into powerful, flexible storage area
networks (SANs). SFPs (removable-small-form-factor-
pluggable optical transceivers) are ordered separately.
The SAN Switch 2/16-EL offers storage networking
features which include redundant power supplies, and
cooling; making it ideal for supporting corporate
infrastructure implementations. The switch scales to a
maximum of 4 switches in a SAN and is upgradable to
full SAN scaling with the purchase of an optional
upgrade license.
