• The B300 supports storage arrays from Lenovo Storage for analytics and online transactions. The B300 is available in a standard 8-port configuration (upgradeable to 24 ports), which includes the 8Gbps optics. It is an entry SAN 1U switch for small storage networks.

Simple Scalability

• This FC Switch allows "pay-as-you-grow" scalability by providing 8-port license upgrades for 24 total ports. Optional management and trunking features are available as software upgrades. The switch provides an affordable, flexible foundation for entry-level SANs or an edge switch for core-to-edge SAN environments.
• The B300 SAN Scalable Switch can also be deployed as an Access Gateway allowing servers to connect to NPIVenabled SAN fabrics (24-port configuration required). The switch also interoperates with multiple vendors' FC storage arrays and switches to support clients as they add or adjust storage capacity.
