HPE P08476‑B21 Virtual Connect 16 Gb 24‑Port Fibre Channel Module
Overview
The HPE P08476‑B21 is a high‑density Fibre Channel interconnect module designed for integration within the HPE BladeSystem c‑Class infrastructure and compatible Virtual Connect chassis. It provides 24 Fibre Channel ports operating at up to 16 Gb/s per port, enabling large‑scale SAN connectivity between blade servers and external storage fabrics. As a fully modular blade‑insertable switch module, it supports server‑to‑SAN connections, zoning for virtual machines, and simplifies SAN fabric design in converged compute‑storage environments. The module is suited for enterprise data‑centre deployments where multiple servers require high‑throughput, low‑latency fibre channel connectivity, and fits directly into the server blade mid‑plane infrastructure. It integrates with HPE Virtual Connect management tools for fabric abstraction and supports the consolidation of SAN links in blade‑based compute clusters.
