What is the maximum throughput of this switch?

A fully populated 40-port configuration delivers 680 Gbit/s aggregate bandwidth in a non-blocking architecture at 8 Gbit/s full duplex. ISL trunking adds up to 64 Gbit/s balanced throughput between switches to optimize performance.

Does it support high availability features?

Yes, it features hot-swappable redundant integrated power supplies and fan assemblies with no single points of failure. Non-disruptive firmware upgrades and hot code load ensure continuous operation for mission-critical SANs.

What form factor and management options are available?

The 1U rackmount design offers high port density. Management includes integrated routing with EX_Ports for fabric isolation, status LEDs, and optional software like Adaptive Networking and Data Center Fabric Manager.

Is it suitable for core-to-edge SAN deployments?

Yes, it excels as a high-performance edge switch in core-to-edge fabrics or standalone departmental units, with 680 Gbit/s throughput, ISL trunking, and scalability to handle rapidly growing storage needs.

What software options enhance this switch?

Optional Power Pack+ bundle includes Adaptive Networking for performance optimization, Data Center Fabric Manager for centralized management, supporting enterprise SAN simplification and reliability.

Product overview

The HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch (SKU 492293-001) is a 1U rackmount Fibre Channel switch designed for enterprise storage area networks. It supports scalable configurations of 24, 32, or 40 SFP ports at auto-sensing speeds of 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbit/s full duplex, providing up to 680 Gbit/s aggregate bandwidth when fully populated. Inter-Switch Link trunking enables up to 64 Gbit/s balanced throughput to minimize congestion. Enterprise-class availability features include hot-swappable redundant power supplies and integrated fan assemblies, ensuring non-disruptive operation and firmware upgrades. Management options feature integrated routing with EX_Ports for fabric isolation. Optional software such as Adaptive Networking, Data Center Fabric Manager, and Power Pack+ enhance performance. Ideal for core-to-edge SAN deployments, departmental fabrics, or disaster recovery setups, it protects investments by supporting existing 4 Gbit/s SFPs with upgrade paths to 8 Gbit/s.
