OVERVIEW
The HP Surestore FC Switch 6164 provides a 64-port enterprise-class fibre
channel switching solution for any-to-any connectivity requirements in a
Storage Area Network (SAN). The FC 6164 provides a cost-effective
means of meeting the large-port-count requirements of workgroups and
enterprises.
The FC 6164 is a rack-mountable solution, comprised of a chassis and six
fully integrated Silkworm 2250 switch modules, with preconfigured
inter-switch link (ISL) fibre optic cables and enhanced management
software. The FC 6164 includes Fabric Manager, a management application
that provides a centralized view of the integrated switch modules to
simplify administration and maintenance.
Using this preconfigured, stand-alone fabric as a building block of larger
fabrics, you can scale your storage environment as needed while leveraging
your existing server and storage infrastructure.
