HDS Switches

Enterprise Connectivity with HDS Switches

Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) switches serve as the backbone of enterprise networking and storage environments. These high-performance switches are designed to deliver low-latency, high-throughput connectivity between servers, storage arrays, and other critical infrastructure. At Direct Hardware Supply, we offer a selection of HDS-compatible network switches engineered for scalability, redundancy, and robust data handling – ensuring smooth operations across your IT architecture.

Built for Storage Area Networks

HDS switches play a pivotal role in storage area networks (SANs), facilitating communication between storage devices and host systems. These switches support Fibre Channel and Ethernet protocols, with bandwidth capabilities ranging from 1Gbps to 32Gbps or higher, depending on configuration. With support for zoning, traffic prioritization, and multipath redundancy, HDS switches ensure data integrity and optimize application performance in even the most demanding enterprise environments.

Switches are especially important in configurations involving HDS Transceiver modules or connecting storage controllers to HDS Rack Server systems, where high-speed, low-latency communication is crucial.

Flexible Deployment and Port Density

Available in various sizes and port configurations, HDS switches allow organizations to build topologies that match their workload demands and scaling strategies. Modular chassis switches offer extensive flexibility and expandability, while fixed-configuration models are ideal for targeted deployments or edge environments.

As you expand storage through HDS Expansion units, the network infrastructure must scale accordingly. Investing in the right switch hardware enables smoother scaling and avoids bottlenecks that can affect end-user performance or backup operations.

Refurbished HDS Switches for Cost-Efficient Scaling

Refurbished HDS switches provide an excellent balance of cost and capability. Each unit is tested for port activity, protocol compliance, and power stability to ensure reliable deployment in live environments. These switches are ideal for supporting legacy environments, adding redundancy to critical paths, or expanding network capacity without overspending on new hardware.

With rigorous quality assurance and compatibility validation, refurbished options allow IT teams to maintain control over budgets without compromising performance or reliability.

Optimize Network Infrastructure with Confidence

Your network is only as strong as its core switches. At Direct Hardware Supply, we help organizations of all sizes source enterprise-grade HDS switches that integrate cleanly with existing infrastructure and meet evolving performance requirements. Whether upgrading outdated hardware or planning a new deployment, we provide expert guidance and reliable hardware to keep your systems connected and running efficiently.
