The HPE StorageWorks 8/24 SAN Switch delivers affordable, scalable 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel connectivity for entry-level and mid-market storage networks. The base configuration includes 16 active auto-sensing ports supporting 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s speeds, expandable to 24 ports in non-disruptive 8-port increments via Ports On Demand. With 384 Gbit/s full-duplex switching capacity, the switch provides uncongested 8 Gb/s throughput per port and 700-nanosecond fabric latency. Deployment flexibility includes full-fabric switch or Access Gateway mode using NPIV standards. Optional enhanced ISL Trunking combines up to eight inter-switch links into a single 64 Gbit/s logical trunk. The Power Pack+ software bundle adds Adaptive Networking, Fabric Watch, Extended Fabric, and Advanced Performance Monitor capabilities. Backward compatibility with 4 Gb/s SFPs enables cost-effective initial deployment with future 8 Gb/s upgrades. Supported storage systems include 3PAR StoreServ, StoreVirtual 4000, P9000/XP, P6000/EVA, and P2000/MSA platforms.

The HPE 8/24 delivers 384 Gbit/s full-duplex switching capacity with all 24 ports enabled at 8 Gb/s line speed. This provides uncongested sustained throughput of 8 Gb/s per port. The non-blocking switch core ensures no performance degradation regardless of traffic patterns or port combinations.
Yes. The Ports On Demand feature enables non-disruptive expansion from 16 to 24 ports in 8-port increments without requiring switch restart or fabric reconfiguration. This allows organizations to scale storage networks incrementally as capacity demands grow, minimizing operational disruption.
Yes. The auto-sensing ports support 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s speeds simultaneously. Organizations can initially deploy 4 Gb/s SFPs and upgrade to 8 Gb/s SFP+ modules at any time without replacing the switch, enabling cost-effective phased technology transitions.
The 8/24 operates as a full-fabric switch or Access Gateway mode using NPIV standards. Access Gateway mode presents Fibre Channel connections as logical devices to existing SAN fabrics, enabling cost-effective edge switching in large core-to-edge tiered architectures.
The 8/24 achieves 700 nanoseconds fabric latency with no contention using cut-through routing at 8 Gb/s line speed. This low-latency performance ensures consistent response times for storage operations and supports demanding workloads requiring predictable network behavior.
The 8/24 supports HPE 3PAR StoreServ, StoreVirtual 4000, P9000/XP, P6000/EVA, and P2000/MSA storage platforms. Universal Fibre Channel ports ensure seamless integration with heterogeneous storage environments and legacy systems.
Optional enhanced ISL Trunking aggregates up to eight inter-switch links between a pair of switches into a single logical trunk capable of 64 Gbit/s throughput. This optimizes bandwidth utilization for high-performance fabric interconnects and enables efficient multi-switch deployments.
