OVERVIEW
The HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 is a 64-port, high-performance Fibre Channel (FC) director-class switch that
supports 2 Gb and 1 Gb mixed environments. The switch provides the availability, manageability, scalability, and
performance that companies need to build powerful, flexible storage area networks (SANs) that support today’s
mission critical environments. And since the Director 2/64 is engineered to support emerging technologies with its
protocol-independent architecture, it is the open storage-networking platform to meet your future business needs.
The Director 2/64 ensures data is continuously online with the highest level of availability on the market: 99.999
percent. It features redundant power supplies and cooling fans, along with redundant active components that support
automatic failover. Other high-availability capabilities include hot swapping for all field-replaceable units, non-
disruptive firmware activation, and automatic fault detection and isolation. In addition, “call-home” and e-mail
notifications automatically alert maintenance personnel to accelerate problem resolution. The Director 2/64 also
maintains continuous data access and high performance in the event of a single component failure by allowing non-
disruptive maintenance.
