C8R23B Use Case
Enterprise SAN Virtualization with HPE MSA 8Gb Short Wave Transceivers
In a VMware vSphere cluster leveraging HPE MSA storage arrays, the C8R23B-HPE MSA 8Gb Short Wave Fibre Channel SFP+ modules deliver low-latency SAN connectivity to multiple ESXi hosts. This configuration boosts VM I/O performance by up to 40%, ensures consistent throughput under peak loads, and simplifies storage consolidation for enterprise virtualization.
Accelerated Backup and Disaster Recovery for HPE MSA Arrays
Deploying C8R23B-HPE 8Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers in dual MSA controllers enables rapid SAN-based backup and replication to an offsite appliance. With sustained 800 MB/s throughput per link, organizations shrink nightly backup windows by 50%, achieve RPOs under 15 minutes, and maintain business continuity with secure failover.
High-Performance VDI Storage Networking with 8Gb Fibre Channel
In a large-scale Virtual Desktop Infrastructure rollout, integrating C8R23B-HPE MSA 8Gb FC SFP+ modules connects hundreds of thin-client sessions to shared HPE MSA storage. The result is consistent sub-millisecond response times for boot storms, a 30% reduction in storage latency, and streamlined management of virtual desktops at enterprise scale.
