A8001A - HP Mcdata 2-Port 4GB Fibre Channel with 2-SFPS P-Class Blade Base SAN Switch

The McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch for the HP p-class BladeSystem, the newest member of the M series family of Fibre Channel switches available from HP delivers new technology for customers connecting HP BladeSystems to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN). With the introduction of the new McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch, IT managers now have the capability to consolidate multiple HP servers, Fibre Channel switches, and Ethernet switches into a single platform for connectivity to the networked infrastructure. This integration of technology results in space and cost savings due to a reduction of physical components raising the reliability of the entire system. Time to deployment is drastically reduced as server interconnects are made once the McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch is plugged into the HP BladeSystem chassis.
