Introduction
The highly available HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16V offers 2 Gb connectivity for an entry-level storage area network (SAN),
and the ability to grow to a core-to-edge infrastructure. The simplicity and ease-of-use advantages of the SAN Switch 2/16V can
help increase administrator productivity and lower the cost of management. This can be especially beneficial for organizations with
limited IT expertise. It delivers sixteen high performance Auto Sensing 1 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel ports. Plus, the SAN Switch 2/16V
is fully non-blocking and provides 32 Gb capacity for un-congested sustained, 2 Gb full duplex throughput. Its storage networking
features include redundant power supplies and cooling, making it ideal for supporting corporate infrastructure implementations. The
SAN Switch 2/16V scales to a maximum fabric configuration of two switches and can be upgraded to a SAN Switch 2/16N FF to
scale to full SAN configurations. Small-form-factor-pluggable optical transceivers (SFPs) must be ordered separately. The increased
performance of these switches is also appropriate where high throughput needs exist such as video streaming, intensive on-line
transaction processing (OLTP), and medical imaging.
