HPE 794502-B23 VC SE 40GB F8 Switch

The HPE 794502-B23 is a Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 module designed for HPE Synergy-class composable infrastructure. It provides converged, wire-once connectivity at the frame edge, allowing server administrators to manage network profiles in software rather than re-cabling every time a workload moves. For organisations running HPE Synergy compute modules, the 794502-B23 is the interconnect that ties compute, network, and storage traffic together at 40Gb speeds.

Virtual Connect technology reduces the number of cables, switch ports, and upstream network changes needed in a dense compute environment. With the HPE 794502-B23 installed, server profiles including MAC addresses and WWNs are managed centrally, so replacing or adding a compute module does not require LAN or SAN teams to reconfigure the upstream network. This makes the module especially valuable for enterprises, hosting providers, and public sector data centres where change control is strict and downtime windows are short.

The 794502-B23 is frequently sourced as an expansion part for existing frames, or as a replacement when consolidating spare inventory for production environments. Because the platform is now in the later stages of its lifecycle, buying from stock is often faster and far more economical than chasing original channel availability. Euroland IT Store, a trusted UK supplier of enterprise IT and HPE networking hardware, holds the HPE 794502-B23 in new and refurbished condition, with refurbished modules fully tested before dispatch.

Whether you are scaling out an established Synergy estate, building a lab that mirrors production, or protecting uptime with cold spares, the 794502-B23 offers a proven path.

Key Features

• HPE 794502-B23 Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 interconnect module
• Designed for HPE Synergy-class composable infrastructure frames
• 40Gb-class converged connectivity for LAN and SAN traffic
• Wire-once architecture that reduces cabling and upstream switch ports
• Server profile management with movable MAC and WWN assignments
• Reduces dependency on LAN/SAN team changes during server moves
• Supports dense, virtualised, and private cloud compute environments
• Well suited as an expansion module or production spare
• Available new and refurbished, tested prior to dispatch
• UK stock with quotes available for volume and international orders

Compatibility

• Used in HPE Synergy-class enclosures as part of the Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 interconnect architecture
• Operates alongside Synergy compute modules and compatible converged network adapters
• Connects upstream using supported QSFP+ cabling and optics
• Pairs naturally with Synergy 480 compute modules and Synergy converged adapters, and sits in the same product family as the Virtual Connect SE F32 generation
• Confirm frame firmware and composer software levels before installation, and match the module to your existing interconnect layout for redundant configurations

Benefits

Deploying the HPE 794502-B23 keeps an established Synergy environment consistent. Mixed or improvised interconnects add operational risk; an exact-match Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 module preserves your validated design, your firmware baselines, and your failover behaviour. That consistency is worth a great deal in environments where a single frame supports dozens of production workloads.

There is also a strong financial case. As original channel stock becomes scarce, list-price or open-market pricing for current alternatives can be many times higher than sourcing this proven module. Refurbished 794502-B23 units deliver significant savings and are tested before shipping, while new-condition stock is available for organisations whose policies require it. Holding a spare on site converts a potential multi-day outage into a short maintenance task.

For procurement and IT asset managers, buying from Euroland IT Store means UK-based stock, clear commercial terms, and the ability to bundle hardware such as the HPE P22139-B21 Synergy 480 Compute Module and the HPE 876449-B21 Synergy 4820C Adapter with your interconnects in one order, alongside the wider range of networking parts we hold in stock, with quotes turned around quickly for time-sensitive projects.
