DELL FC8PT – 8/4 GBPS FC PASS THROUGH 16PORT MODULE M1000E

Detailed Description:

The DELL FC8PT is a Fiber Channel (FC) pass-through module featuring 16 ports, designed to fit seamlessly into the Dell PowerEdge M1000E blade enclosure. This module facilitates an efficient and robust connection interface for fiber channel networks, supporting both 8 and 4 Gbps speeds. It is specifically engineered to enhance the connectivity capabilities of data centers, providing direct, non-switched access to fiber channel SANs. This unmediated approach ensures lower latency and simplifies the SAN architecture by eliminating the need for fiber channel switches within the blade enclosure. The FC8PT module’s compatibility with the M1000E enclosure makes it an integral component for enterprises requiring high-speed access to storage networks, ensuring uninterrupted and high-performance data transmission. With its 16 ports, it allows for significant expansion and flexibility in connecting multiple blade servers to SANs, making it a critical asset for data-heavy, mission-critical environments like large databases, ERP systems, and virtualized server farms. The deployment of the DELL FC8PT module within a data center infrastructure underpins scalable, secure, and highly available network architectures, vital for organizations looking for efficiency and reliability in their IT operations.
