- The HPE Composable Fabric FM 1006 Switch is a passive optical interconnect module that creates a mesh architecture which enables linear scaling, with each additional switch adding fabric capacity, resiliency and multi-path options.
- The HPE Composable Fabric FM 1006 Switch provides layer 2 and layer 3 network topologies as part of the Composable Fabric network architecture.
- The HPE Composable Fabric FM 1006 Switch, in conjunction with the centralized HPE Composable Fabric Manager platform, provides intelligent and adaptive technology that allow workloads to have access to the most optimal network paths.
- The HPE Composable Fabric FM 1006 Switch physically interconnect using optical ports to create a very dense, full or partial mesh between rack connectivity modules.
The HPE Composable Fabric FM 1006 Switch, a passive optical interconnect module, uses fabric and extender interfaces to connect Top-of-Rack Fabric Modules into a meshed network while maintaining all the photonic switching capabilities of the traditional Composable Fabric solution. The interconnect module provides 12 fabric module port connections that interconnect up to 6 Hewlett Packard Enterprise rack connectivity modules. The module also has extender ports to connect multiple modules together to build larger fabrics. The mesh architecture enables linear scaling, with each additional switch adding fabric capacity, resiliency and multi-path options.
