OVERVIEW
The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32 offers customer’s unprecedented flexibility in supporting Enterprise-
wide SAN deployments, and core-to-edge architectures. By providing 2 Gbps throughput, FlexPort technology
and seamless interoperability with hp StorageWorks Director 2/64, and hp StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/16
products, the Edge Switch 2/32 offer extraordinary deployment flexibility.
New FlexPort technology enables customers to implement connectivity on demand capability not available until
now in other switch products. End-users can start with a partially populated switch (16 ports,) and pay for the
additional connectivity when needed in 8-port increments.
The Edge switch 2/32 provides 2 Gb any-to-any connectivity, high performance bandwidth, and exceptional
availability features that enable customers to easily scale enterprise fabrics. The common architecture shared
between hp StorageWorks directors and edge switches means seamless interoperability and management
across the entire fabric, giving customers unprecedented ability to scale while maintaining the required
performance and availability.
Edge Switch 2/32 Customer benefits include:
Outstanding support for mission critical applications by providing a rich set of high availability features
Extraordinary performance with twice the potential throughput of traditional 1 Gb switches
Centralized fabric management through the hp StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager
Affordable high-port count connectivity
Connectivity on demand by means of the FlexPort technology
Effective bandwidth aggregation at the edge of core-to-edge SAN deployments
Seamless interoperability with other HA fabric switches and directors
