INTRODUCING THE FC 6164
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 switch modules, with preconfigured inter-switch link (ISL)
fiber 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.
