Description
Overview
As organisations respond to digital transformation, data centres are under pressure to deliver higher performance, flexibility and operational efficiency to meet exponential data growth and dynamic business demands. To get the performance they need, organisations are transitioning their data centres to all-flash data storage, which requires a modern storage network that can keep pace with innovation in computing and storage resources. By modernising the SAN, organisations will be able to maximise productivity and increase the efficiency of their storage investments, while preparing for emerging protocols such as NVMe, as well as slower FC speeds, even as they rapidly expand their environments. In addition, adding automated 32Gb technology to Fibre Channel will transform SAN management by simplifying operations and freeing up resources to focus on business optimisation and revenue opportunities.
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6650B 32Gb FC Switch provides tools to optimise NVMe storage and automate SAN management tasks. It is a high port density building block with 128 Fibre Channel ports for increased scale, 33 percent better connectivity, and faster speeds with up to 4 Tbps of total system bandwidth for data centre consolidation and the most demanding all-flash workloads. New automation capabilities enable DevOps resources to increase productivity by automating operations through simple and open automation via open APIs and the Ansible automation engine. Organisations can automate repetitive tasks and deliver consistent performance by eliminating human error. NVMe-ready switches drive innovation by allowing organisations to seamlessly integrate next-generation flash storage without disruptive removal and replacement. The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6650B provides new insights into NVMe storage fabrics with modern I/O traffic visibility to improve SAN efficiency.
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6650B is available in the following models:
- HPE SN6650B 32Gb 128/96 Power Pack+ 96-port 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ Integrated FC Switch
- HPE SN6650B 32Gb 128/48 48-port 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ Integrated Fibre Channel Switch
- HPE SN6650B 32Gb 128/48 Fibre Channel Switch
HPE Power Pack+ software provides the SAN administrator with the necessary tools to monitor the health and performance of the network, while also ensuring the highest levels of security, scalability and manageability. HPE Power Pack+ software includes additional software: Fabric Vision, ISL Trunking, and Extended Fabric.
