Product Description

The HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module for the c-Class BladeSystem is a game-changing solution for simplifying and optimising your network connections.

This innovative module streamlines server connections by neatly separating the server enclosure from the LAN. It simplifies your entire network setup by reducing the clutter of cables, all without the need for additional switches to manage. With this module, you can change servers in a matter of minutes, not days, and customise network connections and speeds based on your specific application requirements.

Additionally, the HP Flex-10 technology significantly cuts infrastructure costs by increasing the number of Network Interface Cards (NICs) per connection - without requiring extra blade I/O modules. It also reduces the number of cabling uplinks to your data center network.
