Product overview

The HP Brocade 4GB SAN Full Fabric Switch (SKU 411853-001) is an enterprise-level Fibre Channel SAN switch from the Brocade SAN product line. It features 8 internal 1-2Gb server ports and 4 external 4Gb auto-sensing ports, supporting full duplex 4 GB/sec line speed with non-blocking architecture and fabric latency under 2 µsec. Designed for HP BladeSystem integration, it plugs directly into the chassis backplane, eliminating external cabling and SFPs for server connectivity while providing minimal external cabling via included 4Gb SFPs. Fully manageable with WebTools and Zoning licenses, it supports Brocade trunking, auto-sensing of 1/2/4Gb devices, and interoperability with Brocade fabrics. Ideal for consolidating SAN connectivity in blade environments, it reduces deployment time, rack space, and costs through shared power/cooling and zero footprint design. Compatible with HP StorageWorks B-series switches for scalable fabrics.
