HP 2408 FCoE 24-pt 10GbE 8-pt 8Gb FC Base Converged Network Switch

HP Converged Network Switches provide a reliable platform that helps reduce cable clutter, equipment acquisition costs, and operational costs associated with power consumption and cooling. The switch features a 1U form factor and low power consumption, delivering a “greener” data center.

The HP 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch model features 8 Fibre Channel ports for 8 Gbit/sec performance along with 24 Ethernet ports for 10 Gbit/sec performance. The 10 Gbit Ethernet ports support Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) which increase the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. These features allow support of multiple traffic classes over lossless Ethernet fabric, thus enabling consolidation of LAN, SAN, and cluster environments.

High Performance

• Enables rapid deployment with minimal configuration in existing environments; provides the highest performance available, with complete backward and forward investment protection


Unified Management

• FCoE extends the reach of Fibre Channel management applications and tools, enabling organizations to manage FCoE-attached devices under a single, unified management umbrella


Increased Consolidation

• The FCoE switch is capable of transporting both storage and LAN traffic—eliminating the need for separate SAN and LAN adapters and cables


Investment Protection

• Fabric OS simplifies management through standard interfaces and support through Data Center Fabric Manager
