Description
Overview
64Gb Fibre Channel is the modern storage network infrastructure for mission-critical storage, enabling organisations to achieve an autonomous SAN that is self-learning, self-optimising and self-healing. it combines powerful analytics and advanced automation capabilities to accelerate data access, adapt to changing demands and drive always-on business operations. The 64Gb HPE SN6700B Fibre Channel switch with ultra-low latency and unmatched 64Gbps performance is the cornerstone of a modern infrastructure that simplifies the deployment, provisioning, and management of SAN resources in mid- to large-scale environments.
With the growing popularity of flash storage and the rise of NVMe-based storage, organisations will be transferring more data than ever before over SANs, requiring additional I/O capacity to meet the growing demand. Coupled with increasing complexity and higher expectations for availability, organisations need a network that maximises performance and reduces latency, while simplifying and automating management. These features are necessary to help organisations increase the productivity and efficiency of their storage investments and resources.
To meet these requirements, networks need to evolve. The HPE B-Series 64Gbp Fibre Channel infrastructure unlocks the performance of NVMe workloads while reducing latency and increasing bandwidth. In addition, the infrastructure combines powerful analytics and advanced automation capabilities, providing the foundation for autonomous SANs that maximise performance and ensure reliability. Autonomous SAN technology enables organisations to implement self-learning, self-optimising and self-healing SANs.
With unmatched 64Gbps performance and industry-leading port density, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B Series SN6700B delivers the building blocks to support data growth, demanding workloads and data centre consolidation. The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6700B delivers up to 50 per cent less latency than its predecessor, enabling maximum performance for NVMe storage.
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6700B leverages built-in analytics to optimise performance and eliminate outages. This switch collects comprehensive telemetry data across the fabric for advanced analytics. The HPE SANnav Management Portal makes it easy for organisations to visualise and understand SAN operations and performance. By leveraging automation, SAN administrators can automate repetitive tasks to save time and reduce outages.
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6700B simplifies the deployment, configuration, and management of SAN resources with a range of easy-to-use tools. With EZSwitchSetup, organisations can reduce the number of steps required to deploy and configure switches. In addition, the simplified user interface of Web Tools makes the SAN easier to manage. To further simplify operations and increase visibility, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6700B includes HPE B-Series Fabric Vision technology to monitor and analyse the SAN, which provides actionable insights to quickly identify issues and meet critical service level agreements (SLAs). To simplify management workflows, organisations can also leverage the SANnav management portal to accelerate the deployment of new applications, switches, servers and storage. In addition, the modern graphical user interface (GUI) improves operational efficiency with visual dashboards for instant visibility and faster troubleshooting.
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6700B delivers market-leading 64Gbps Fibre Channel technology to meet the demands of hyperscale virtualisation, larger cloud infrastructures and growing flash storage-based IT environments. It provides a high-density foundation for increased scalability and is designed to support the growth of medium to large enterprise infrastructures, demanding workloads and data centre consolidation. It is designed for maximum flexibility, scalability and ease of use. Organisations can scale from 24 to 56 ports, providing up to 64 connections using SFP-DD transceivers in a highly efficient 1U form factor that delivers industry-leading port density and space utilisation. It also offers a simplified deployment process and point-and-click user interface, making it powerful and easy to use. With the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6700B, 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 SN6700B is available in two airflow options bundled with either 24 32Gbps or 24 64Gbps Secure Short Wave Transceivers:
