HPE 610679‑002 MDS 8/24c BladeSystem Fabric Switch Module
Overview
The HPE 610679‑002 is a high‑density Fibre Channel switch module designed for deployment in blade‑server chassis environments where storage fabric consolidation is required. It provides 24 ports of 8 Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity (typically a mix of backplane server‑link ports and external SFP+ ports) and is engineered for SAN edge or blade‑enclosure deployments supporting virtualised storage, data replication and array interconnects. It fits into compatible blade system midplanes, leveraging the chassis power, cooling and management infrastructure, enabling efficient infrastructure scaling without discrete external standalone switches. The module is suited for data‑centre blade server racks, storage fabric consolidation points or virtual‑compute server‑clusters with attached SAN fabrics. It integrates into the existing HPE SAN ecosystem and management tools to unify control of server‑to‑storage connectivity and SAN zoning workflows.
