Description
Overview
To remain competitive, IT organisations must keep up with increasing workloads without increasing budgets or resources. While virtualisation takes some of the pressure off by enabling faster deployment and consolidation benefits, it also tends to put additional pressure on data centre networks. In addition, the shift to cloud computing, which promises greater efficiencies and the adoption of more service-oriented business models, means that these networks will face greater demands.
The HPE SN6000B Fibre Channel switch delivers market-leading 16 Gb Fibre Channel technology and support for highly virtualised environments to meet the needs of hyperscale private cloud storage environments. Designed for maximum flexibility and investment protection, the SN6000B switch can be configured with 24, 36 or 48 ports and supports 4, 8, 10 or 16 Gbps speeds in an efficiently designed 1U package. It also offers a simplified deployment process and point-and-click user interface, making it powerful and easy to use. The SN6000B switch provides cost-effective access to industry-leading storage area network (SAN) technology while offering “buy-as-you-go” scalability to meet the needs of evolving storage environments.
The SN6000B is available in six models:
- HPE SN6000B 16Gb 48-port/48-port Active Power Pack+ Fibre Channel Switch
- HPE SN6000B 16Gb 48-port/24-port Active Power Pack+ Fibre Channel Switch
- HPE SN6000B 16Gb 48-port/48-port Active Fibre Channel Switch
- HPE SN6000B 16Gb 48-port/24-port Active Fibre Channel Switch
- HPE SN6000B 16Gb 48-port/24-port Active Port Side Air Intake Fibre Channel Switch
- HPE SN6000B 16Gb Bundled Fibre Channel switch
Power Pack+ includes add-on software: Fabric Vision, ISL Trunking, and Extended Fabric. Power Pack+ software gives SAN administrators the tools they need to monitor the health and performance of their networks while ensuring the highest levels of security, scalability, and manageability.
HPE SN6000B Fibre Channel Switch
SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch
- Simplifies enterprise SAN deployment by combining higher edge switch port density with exceptional scalability, performance and reliability
- Delivers 24, 36, or 48-ports in a 1U enclosure
- Provides 4 Gb/s, 8 Gb/s, 10 Gb/s, 16 Gb/s* performance
Notes: * 16 Gb/s performance can be obtained between two 16 Gb/s capable devices.
- Employs optional Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking to provide a high-speed data path between switches which enables a high speed data path between 16 Gb/s switches up to 128 Gb/s
