The integrated design frees up rack space, enables a reduction of components, and utilizes shared power and cooling within the BladeSystem enclosure resulting in space and cost savings. The Cisco MDS 8Gb Fabric Switch supports VSAN, an industry standard for fabric virtualization enabling more efficient network use. The N-Port Virtualizer FlexAttach mode streamlines the infrastructure by reducing the number of domains to manage while enabling the ability to add or move servers without impact to the SAN. Advanced traffic management features optimize the fabric. Management is simplified with a broad range of integrated tools and switch management is integrated with HP BladeSystem management creating a unique and tightly integrated experience for server and storage administrators.\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable class=\"generic\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\" class=\"text-left\"\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitching capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192 Gbit\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequired software\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChassis type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmbedded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.33 kg (2.93 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpgrade type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard 12-port model is upgradeable to 24-ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitch models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFactory-configured 12-port and 24-port models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePort speed rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 Gb\/s Fibre Channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional software\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCisco Fabric Manager Server for HP BladeSystem c-Class (optional), Cisco Enterprise Package for HP BladeSystem c-Class (optional), Cisco FMS Enterprise Package Bundle for HP BladeSystem c-Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMultimedia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) and Small Form-Factor Pluggable optical transceivers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManageability features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCisco MDS 9000 Family Command Line Interface (CLI), Cisco Fabric Manager, Cisco Fabric Manager Server (optional), Cisco Enterprise Package (optional)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade types supported\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, please reference the QuickSpecs for details\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\" class=\"text-left\"\u003eSecurity\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecurity algorithms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\" class=\"text-left\"\u003ePerformance\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecurity algorithms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitching capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192 Gbit\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePort speed rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 Gb\/s Fibre Channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\" class=\"text-left\"\u003eWeight \u0026amp;
