Overview
HPE Storage Director Switch C-series SN8700C (MDS 9700 “V2” & “V3” Directors), HPE C-series Family
Today’s mission-critical storage environments require greater consistency, predictability and performance to meet growing business demands. In the face of explosive data growth, data centres need more IO capacity to accommodate massive amounts of data, applications and workloads. In addition to the data surge, collective expectations for availability continue to rise. Users expect applications to be available and accessible on any device, anytime, anywhere. To meet these dynamic and growing business demands, organisations need to deploy and scale applications quickly. As a result, many are turning to higher virtual machine (VM) densities to enable rapid deployment of new applications and deploying flash storage to help these applications scale to support thousands of users.
The development of next-generation, more powerful servers, enhancements to server virtualisation, and the adoption of emerging technologies such as flash-based storage and NVMe may lead to bottlenecks in the existing network infrastructure.
To increase agility, reduce expenses and take full advantage of flash-based architectures, organisations need networks that deliver the performance required by today’s server and storage environments. In addition, storage networks are becoming increasingly important for application performance, which means they must also become easier to manage and administer. By considering networking as a strategic part of a highly virtualised environment, organisations can improve optimisation and efficiency while rapidly scaling their environments.
Data centre modernisation requires faster fabric infrastructure. We now have 64Gb guides.
The HPE Storage Controller Switch C-Series SN8700C is the next-generation MDS 9700 V2/V3 controller that offers a number of unique innovations for building powerful, large-scale storage networks. These innovations enable users to build high-performance storage networking solutions that are highly scalable, always available, with comprehensive security and unified management. The HPE Storage Director Switch C-Series SN8700C supports 4/8/16/32/64 Gb FC and delivers industry-leading scalability and performance (up to 48 Tbps front-panel FC switching bandwidth), and high port density (up to 768 ports). ports in the SN8700C 16-slot guide) and high availability to reduce TCO and support integrated SAN infrastructures. HPE offers the C-Series SN8700C 16-slot FC guides with high-availability features inherent in the design. All major components, Supervisor-4, Fabric-3, and power supplies are redundant.
The HPE Storage Controller Switch C-Series SN8700C provides redundancy for all major hardware components, including the management engine and switching matrix modules, as well as power supplies. The 16-slot chassis features two hot-swappable redundant Supervisor-4 modules, eight hot-swappable redundant 3000W power supplies, and six hot-swappable Fabric-3 modules. 8-slot chassis with 2 hot-swappable redundant Supervisor-4 modules, 4 hot-swappable redundant 3000W power supplies, and 3 hot-swappable Fabric-3 modules. 4-slot chassis with 2 hot-swappable redundant Supervisor-4 modules, 4 hot-swappable redundant 3000W power supplies, and 3 hot-swappable fabric-3 modules. The open expansion slots of the HPE Storage Controller Switch C-Series SN8700C can be populated with HPE C-Series FC modules, including 48-port 32Gb or 64Gb FC modules.
