The FibreConnect™ 8300 switches are easy to deploy, manage and integrate into both new and existing SANs. The FibreConnect series provides exceptional performance and functionality at an entry-level cost. These switches combine auto-sensing 2, 4, and 8Gb/s Fibre Channel throughput with features that greatly enhance workflow processes, allowing users to share media resources for applications such as HD video editing, post production, video-on-demand and complex databases. With Ports On Demand scalability from 8 to 16 or 24 ports, the 8300 series enables organizations to grow their storage networks when necessary, in a non-disruptive manner.
