The HPE Virtual Connect SE 16Gb FC Module for HPE Synergy is a Storage Area Network (SAN) interconnect with a wire-once change-ready technology. The Fibre Channel (FC) module in conjunction with Synergy composer powered by HPE OneView allows workloads to be moved or managed without modifying the network. HPE OneView provides an intuitive management console forseamless connectivity between virtualized Synergy Compute Modules 16Gb FC SAN fabrics.
For the best-in-class enterprise datacenter performance environments, the HPE VC SE 16Gb FC module or the alternative, Brocade16Gb FC SAN Switch Module for HPE Synergy, are the best choices for operating systems and applications demanding low-latency high I/O performance, i.e. SSD storage. No other server enclosure technology (iSCSI, Ethernet, or FCoE) on the market can guarantee up to 384Gb/s of bandwidth.The unique QSFP ports not only significantly simplify cabling infrastructure, reduces cabling from four to one, but also helps reduce power 2.5x attributed to optics transceivers.
If deployment costs are a concern, by adopting the Synergy frame and Gen 5 16Gb FC technology, you can reduce costs and simplify connections to SANs, consolidate your network connections and enable administrators to add, replace and recover compute modules resources on-the-fly. The integrated Synergy design frees up rack space, reduces power and cooling requirements.
