Product overview

The Compaq StorageWorks 16-Ports Fiber Channel Switch (SKU 127660-002) is an enterprise-grade Fibre Channel switch designed for high-performance Storage Area Networks (SANs). It features 16 universal Fibre Channel ports supporting speeds up to 2 Gb/s per port, delivering aggregate bandwidth of 16-32 Gb/s in a fully non-blocking architecture. Compatible with F, FL, and E port modes, it supports protocols including FCP, FC-TAPE, and FC-AL, enabling seamless integration with Compaq RAID Array 8000, ESA 12000, and AlphaServer systems like DS10, DS20E, and ES40. The rackmount form factor fits 1U chassis in standard racks, with redundant hot-swappable power supplies and cooling for high availability. Management options include web-based tools, Telnet, SNMP, and command-line interfaces, facilitating zoning, LUN masking, and bandwidth management. Ideal for data centers requiring scalable SAN fabrics with low latency under 2 µsec, it ensures reliable connectivity for storage arrays and high-throughput environments. Advanced fabric services support fabric growth up to core-to-edge configurations.

Frequently asked questions

What are the port specifications of the Compaq 16-Ports Fiber Channel Switch?

It features 16 universal Fibre Channel ports with auto-sensing F, FL, E modes, supporting speeds up to 2 Gb/s per port (2.125 Gbit/sec line rate). Aggregate bandwidth is 16-32 Gb/s in non-blocking full-duplex operation, ideal for high-throughput SAN connections.

What form factor does this switch use?

Rackmount 1U chassis for standard 19-inch racks, with hot-swappable redundant power supplies and cooling. Fits in 25U+ cabinets, ensuring high density and availability in enterprise data centers.

What protocols and services are supported?

Supports FCP, FC-TAPE, FC-AL protocols with Class 2/3 services. Includes advanced fabric services like zoning, LUN masking, bandwidth management, QuickLoop, and Web Tools for secure, scalable SAN management.

What is the performance like in terms of latency and bandwidth?

Delivers <2 µsec latency with no contention via cut-through routing. Provides 32 Gb/s switching capacity for sustained 2 Gb full-duplex throughput across 16 ports, non-blocking for demanding storage workloads.

How is the switch managed?

Management via web-based tools, Telnet, SNMP, command-line, and front-panel display (on 16-port model). Ethernet RJ-45 port (10/100 Base-TX) and in-band FC link enable comprehensive monitoring and configuration.

What systems is it compatible with?
