Simplify and make your data center change-ready. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module is the simplest, most flexible connection to your networks. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module is a new class of blade interconnect that simplifies server connections by cleanly separating the server enclosure from SAN, simplifies networks by reducing cables without adding switches to the domain, and allows you to change servers in just minutes.
The standards-based Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module looks like a pass-thru device to the SAN, yet provides all the key benefits of integrated switching including high performance 4Gb auto-negotiating ports, and compatibility with your favorite brand of SAN switch. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module works with the Virtual Connect Ethernet module to manage server profiles which can be deployed anywhere within a Virtual Connect domain. Servers come up very quickly and easily without having to coordinate with network administrators in advance.

Introducing a new class of blade interconnect for the HP c-Class BladeSystem, the HP Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module offers high performance connectivity to the datacenter and makes server administration more efficient. Move, add, and change servers inside the BladeSystem domain transparently to external networks.
Performance
- (4) 4Gb/s Auto-negotiating Fibre Channel uplinks can be connected to external SAN switches
- (16) 4Gb/s Auto-negotiating Fibre Channel downlink ports provide maximum HBA performance
- HBA Aggregation on uplinks ports using standards-based Network Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) technology
- Extremely low latency throughput provides switch-like performance
Management
- Managed in concert with the Virtual Connect Ethernet Module
- Optional HTTP interface is ready out of the box. Easy setup and management by the Server Administrator
- Full featured management interface accessible via the HP c-Class Onboard Administrator and the Virtual Connect Ethernet Module
Options
