Overview

C8S45A is the HPE Brocade 16Gb/16c Embedded SAN Switch. The Brocade 16Gb SAN Switch for HPE BladeSystem c-Class represents an easy to manage next generation embedded Fibre Channel switch with 16 Gbps Fibre Channel performance. It hot-plugs into the back of the HPE BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure and its integrated design frees up rack space, enables shared power and cooling, and reduces cabling and small form-factor pluggables.
