Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HP AJ822B available refurbished? +
Yes. This page lists the refurbished condition currently available from BuyRouterSwitch. Availability can change, especially for bulk orders.
Can I request bulk pricing for AJ822B? +
Yes. Businesses, resellers, MSPs, government buyers and procurement teams can request custom quantity pricing.
Does BuyRouterSwitch ship AJ822B internationally? +
BuyRouterSwitch ships enterprise IT hardware to customers in the United States and international markets, subject to destination and product restrictions.
How does the HP Brocade 8/24c integrate into an existing BladeSystem c-Class environment? +
The 8/24c SAN Switch is designed specifically to slide directly into the back of the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. It provides internal Fibre Channel connectivity to the server blades, eliminating the need for external cabling for each server and significantly reducing the complexity of your fabric infrastructure.
What is the maximum throughput supported by the Brocade 8/24c SAN Switch? +
This switch supports 8 Gbps Fibre Channel technology, delivering high-speed performance for data-intensive applications. It is also backward compatible with 4 Gbps and 2 Gbps devices, providing the flexibility to maintain existing hardware while scaling your storage area network throughput as your business requirements evolve.
Does the Power Pack+ model include advanced software features for fabric management? +
Yes, the Power Pack+ software bundle is included to provide comprehensive management capabilities. It features advanced tools like Fabric Watch for proactive monitoring, Advanced Performance Monitoring for tracking traffic bottlenecks, and Trunking for high-bandwidth inter-switch links, ensuring your SAN remains optimized and reliable under heavy workloads.
How many external ports are available on the HP 8/24c SAN Switch? +
The switch offers 24 ports in total. This includes 16 internal ports for direct communication with the c-Class server blades and 8 external ports that connect to your external SAN fabric, such as core switches or storage arrays, facilitating a high-density, efficient SAN design.
Is the Brocade 8/24c suitable for high-availability enterprise environments? +
Absolutely. By deploying two 8/24c switches in a c-Class enclosure, you create a redundant fabric architecture. This setup ensures that if one switch fails or requires maintenance, the I/O traffic automatically fails over to the second switch, maintaining continuous connectivity for mission-critical applications and minimizing downtime risks.
How do I manage and monitor the performance of this Brocade SAN switch? +
You can manage the switch through the Brocade Fabric OS (FOS) interface. It supports various management methods, including a web-based GUI, command-line interface (CLI), and integration with HP Systems Insight Manager. These tools provide visibility into fabric health, port status, and overall performance metrics for effective troubleshooting.
Can I mix different speeds on the ports of the 8/24c switch? +
The switch features auto-sensing port technology, which allows it to negotiate speed automatically based on the connected device. This means you can have a mix of 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps devices connected to the switch ports simultaneously without manual reconfiguration.
What is the primary benefit of using the Power Pack+ bundle for my SAN? +
The Power Pack+ bundle provides an all-in-one suite of advanced diagnostic and monitoring features that are essential for large-scale enterprise SANs. It simplifies fabric management and improves operational efficiency by providing real-time data on port utilization and fabric stability, which would otherwise require individual, costly software license purchases.
