HP 16-Ports 1GB/10Gb Ethernet Blade Switch for BLc

The high-performance HP 1/10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch is a simple to manage interconnect that provides sixteen 1 Gb downlinks and four 1 Gb uplinks, along with three 10 Gb uplinks and a single 10 Gb cross-connect. A robust set of industry standard Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing functions, QOS metering, security and high availability (HA) features round out this extremely flexible and versatile switch. Network designers have the flexibility of using either copper CX4 or Fiber XFP interfaces to match their 10 Gb data center requirements, while datacenter managers will appreciate the stingy 50 Watts of power consumed per switch. The 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch dramatically reduces cabling, power and cooling requirements compared to stand-alone switches, while providing over 34 Gb of uplink bandwidth to handle the most demanding applications.
