» Key Benefits

Designed for the c-Class BladeSystem enclosure, the HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch is a simple to manage interconnect that provides sixteen 1Gb downlinks and four 1Gb uplinks, along with three 10Gb uplinks and a single 10Gb cross-connect. A robust set of industry standard Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing functions, QOS metering, security and High Availability features round out this extremely flexible and capable switch. The 1:10Gb Ethernet Switch dramatically reduces cabling, power and cooling requirements compared to stand-alone switches, while providing over 34Gb of uplink bandwidth to handle the most demanding applications.
Network designers have the flexibility of using either copper CX4 or Fiber XFP interfaces to match their 10Gb data center requirements, while datacenter managers will appreciate the stingy 50 watts of power consumed per switch.
