The HP 356373-001 is an HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16V (also listed under HP part AA978A), a 1U Fibre Channel fabric switch with 16 auto-sensing ports supporting 1Gb and 2Gb Fibre Channel connections. It is aimed at entry-level SAN deployments that need core-to-edge fabric connectivity, and it can scale into a larger fabric of up to four switches for growing storage environments. SFP transceivers are not included and must be ordered separately to match the fibre type and distance required for each connection. This is HP storage networking hardware rather than a ProCurve LAN switch, and is the correct spare for maintaining or expanding an existing 2/16V-based SAN fabric or for replacing a failed unit. Specifiers should confirm their existing fabric configuration and required transceiver types before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) sources and tests refurbished HP storage hardware like this one to keep SAN fabrics running past end of manufacturer support.
