Fibre Channel	HP supports three product lines of Fibre Channel switch products that may be used to build SAN
Switches	fabrics. Each product line provides certain advantages that apply to specific applications. For
	more information on specific switch models and selection, please refer to Part II in the SAN
	Design Guidelines referenced on the SAN Infrastructure page:
	http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure/index.html

The B-Series product line includes a wide range of Fibre Channel switches, described as "SAN switches" and "Core switches." Products in this family include switches from the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16 to the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64. This product line includes switches with 8, 16, 32, and 64 ports, including both full-function and entry-level models. The HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 includes a pair of independent 64-port switches in a single chassis with a high level internal redundancy.

The C-Series product line includes the Cisco MDS 9506 and 9509 Multilayer Directors and the Cisco MDS 9216, 9120, and 9140 Multilayer Fabric Switches. The MDS 9506 is supported with 224 ports, over seven modular chassis consisting of both 16-port and 32-port modules. The MDS 9506 is supported with 128 ports, over four modular chassis consisting of both 16-port and 32-port modules. The MDS 9216 has a basic configuration with 16 ports. It has an expansion slot that supports either a 16- or a 32-port card, for 32 or 48 ports in total.

The M-Series Fabric product line includes a wide range of Fibre Channel switches described as "Directors" and "Edge switches." A partial list of products in this family includes the HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 and the HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32. This product line includes switches with 16, 24, 32, 64, and 140 ports internal microcode. The HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 and 2/140 switches have a high level of internal redundancy.
