| Feature | Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module for c-Class BladeSystem |
| Headline | Flexible configuration of network and storage connection quantity and performance |
| Headline | Simplify the Server Edge with 95% Consolidation and Faster Deployment of Network Connections |
| Headline | Upgrade your network with investment protection and no process changes |
| Ideal for | Data centers with servers requiring multiple connections to networks and external storage |
| Key selling point | 100% compatible with current networks: Seamless connection to existing industry standard data and storage networks avoids fork-lift upgrades. |
| Key selling point | Built on proven HP BladeSystem technology: Requires no changes to HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure components. |
| Key selling point | Fine-tune performance: Fine-tune the performance of each data and storage connection to meet the needs of each virtual machine and workload. |
| Key selling point | Increase storage connection performance: Connect to servers using full hardware offload of iSCSI and FCoE protocol processing minimizing the impact on host CPU performance. |
| Key selling point | Maintain current IT processes: Direct uplink connections to LAN and SAN maintain your current IT practices, unlike other solutions that reroute SAN traffic to the LAN. |
| Key selling point | One flexible interconnect connects to any network: One device supports most common data center network protocols: Ethernet, Fibre Channel, iSCSI. |
| Key selling point | One standard for all connection needs: One VC FlexFabric module meets any data and storage connection need with license-free, multi-protocol support for Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and Accelerated iSCSI connections. |
| Key selling point | Optimized for hypervisor i/o requirements: With Flex-10 two modules provide 6 FlexNIC and 2 FlexHBA connections to each server, the best practice network configuration for most hypervisors. |
| Key selling point | Provides 4:1 consolidation of interconnect equipment: Each HP VC FlexFabric module can replace up to three Ethernet and one Fibre Channel switches in an HP BladeSystem enclosure |
| Key selling point | Reduces networking TCO at the server edge: Save up to 65% on equipment resulting in more than $1M savings for only 15 enclosures. Save another 40% on power and cooling costs per year |
| Key selling point | Simplifies connection management: Wire-once, then add, move and change network connections to 1000's of servers in minutes vs. days from one console without affecting your LAN and SAN |
| Key selling point | The HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module cuts 95% of hardware to connect servers to networks: Only two VC FlexFabric modules connect an enclosure of HP server blades to both data and storage networks, eliminating multiple switches, cards, and cables |
| Key selling point | Ultra-fast 10 Gb server-to-server performance: Perform ultra-fast communication between virtual server hosts and moves and recoveries with hardware-based 10 Gb performance. |
| Key selling point | Virtual Connect (v3.30 and greater) improves network visibility for troubleshooting from a command line interface with secure access for network teams via TACACS+ or RADIUS |
