HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6750B

Description

Overview

Organisations are under pressure to maximise the performance, productivity and efficiency of their storage investments and resources, even as they are rapidly expanding their environments. In addition, they need to protect the business from disruptions, downtime and cybersecurity breaches to ensure continuous availability. To meet these requirements and the demands of an always-on data centre, organisations must deploy modern infrastructure that delivers faster, smarter and more resilient networks. With unmatched performance, integrated security and automated SAN management technology, B-Series 64Gb products transform current storage networks into autonomous SANs and protect them from cybersecurity and business continuity challenges that can disrupt data centre operations.

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B Series SN6750B eliminates the uncertainty of protecting and managing your network with enhanced security and autonomous SAN technology. The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B Series SN6750B enables a network resilient network that protects against security threats, delivers uninterrupted operation and maximises management automation. With integrated security technology, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6750B protects mission-critical operations by validating the integrity of B-Series 64Gb hardware and software. It also reduces vulnerability to malware and hijacking attacks by strengthening the Fabric OS (FOS) and enhancing the hardware.

To simplify and automate management, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B Series SN6750B features powerful analytics and advanced automation capabilities. With these features, organisations can achieve a self-learning, self-optimising and self-healing SAN that maximises performance and availability. The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6750B with B-Series 64Gb technology transforms billions of telemetry data points into automated operations in real time, ensuring the reliability and performance of critical applications, virtual infrastructure and NVMe storage. By understanding and analysing network telemetry data in real time, the SAN can automatically make intelligent decisions about traffic prioritisation and congestion relief to ensure uninterrupted operations. With automatic congestion detection and resolution, B-Series 64Gb immediately mitigates the impact on applications and resolves issues faster, freeing up valuable management time.

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6750B is a 64Gb high-density building block that enables dense rack environments to connect more devices and build larger fabrics. Its 128 wire-speed 64Gb ports in a 2U design enable organisations to create large-scale fabrics in less space. The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch Series B SN6750B uses 96 64Gb SFP+ ports and 16 2x64Gb dual-density fibre transceiver (SFP-DD) ports. Each of the 16 SFP-DD transceivers provides 2 ports, making 32 ports available for device or ISL connectivity. Adding SFP-DD ports enables the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B Series SN6750B to connect more servers, storage, and switches in very dense spaces. With 50 percent less latency than the previous generation and no oversubscription, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-Series SN6750B delivers maximum performance for NVMe storage and high-transaction workloads.

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6750B is available in two airflow options bundled with either 48 64Gbps Secure Short Wave Transceivers:

• HPE SN6750B 64Gb 48/128 48-port 64Gb Short Wave SFP56 Integrated Fibre Channel Switch
• HPE SN6750B 64Gb 48/128 48-port 64Gb Short Wave SFP56 Port Side Intake Integrated FC Switch

Both offerings include the software features of Power Pack+: Fabric Vision and IO Insight, ISL Trunking, Extended Fabric, and Integrated Routing
