HP 1/10G Virtual Connect Ethernet Module for c-Class BladeSystem

Simplify and make your data center change-ready. The Virtual Connect Ethernet Module is the simplest, most flexible connection to your networks. The Virtual Connect Ethernet Module is a new class of blade interconnect that simplifies server connections by cleanly separating the server enclosure from LAN, simplifies networks by reducing cables without adding switches to manage, and allows you to change servers in just minutes. The standards-based Virtual Connect Ethernet Module looks like a pass-thru device to the network, yet provides all the key benefits of integrated switching including high performance 1G and 10G uplinks to the data center switch, port aggregation, failover, VLAN tagging, and stacking. The Virtual Connect Ethernet Module manages and administers server profiles that can be pre-defined and deployed anywhere within a Virtual Connect domain. This allows servers to come online very quickly and easily without having to coordinate with network administrators.
