Description
Overview
Today’s mission-critical storage environments require greater consistency, predictability, and performance to meet business demands. In the face of explosive data growth, IT environments need more IO capacity than ever before to accommodate large volumes of data, business-critical applications, data-intensive workloads, and to deliver on the promise of uninterrupted availability and accessibility anytime, anywhere, on any device.
To meet these dynamic and growing business demands, organisations need to be able to rapidly deploy and scale applications. As a result, many organisations are moving to higher virtual machine (VM) densities to rapidly deploy new applications and investing in flash storage to help these applications scale to support thousands of users. Organisations are taking full advantage of flash storage and moving their high-performance, latency-sensitive workloads to flash-based storage with NVMe. To increase flexibility, reduce expenses and take full advantage of these architectures, organisations need networks that deliver the performance required by today’s server and storage environments. In addition, storage networks are becoming increasingly important to application performance and are seen as a strategic footprint in highly virtualised environments as they provide efficiency and optimisation as they scale.
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6600B delivers market-leading 32 Gb Fibre Channel capabilities to meet the demands of hyperscale virtualisation, larger cloud infrastructures and growing flash storage environments. With NVMe support, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6600B enables organisations to seamlessly integrate Fibre Channel networks with next-generation flash storage without the need for disruptive teardowns and replacements. It offers high-density building blocks for increased scalability and is designed to support growth, demanding workloads and data centre consolidation from small to large enterprise infrastructures. It is designed for maximum flexibility, scalability and ease of use. Organisations can scale from 24 to 64 ports with 48 SFP+ ports and 4 QSFP ports, all contained in an efficient 1U package. It also offers a simplified deployment process and point-and-click user interface, making it powerful and easy to use. With the SN6600B switch, organisations can get the best of both worlds: high-performance access to industry-leading storage technology and ‘buy-as-you-go’ scalability to support evolving storage environments.
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6600B is available in nine models:
