Simplify and make your data center change-ready. The Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port Fiber Channel Module is a high class of blade interconnect that simplifies server connections by cleanly separating the server enclosure from the SAN, simplifies networks by reducing cables without adding switches to manage, and allows you to change servers or move workloads in just minutes. With virtual connect, businesses can reduce costs and simplify connections to LANs and SANs, consolidate their network connections and enable administrators to add, replace and recover server resources on-the-fly. The standards-based Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port Fiber Channel Module looks like a pass-thru device to the network, yet provides all the key benefits of integrated switching including high performance 8Gb uplinks to the SAN. The integrated design frees up rack space, reduces power and cooling requirements, and reduces cables and small form-factor pluggables.
