HPE Ingram Micro Sourcing SN2700M 100 GbE 32QSFP28 Switch

Overview

• HPE StoreFabric M-Series SN2700M offers cost-effective options with entry at 16-ports 100 GbE and a pay-as-you-grow software license. It offers more flexibility to add capacity when needed for diverse deployment and tighter budgets
• SN2700M switches are ideal for modern server and storage networks, supporting up to 64 ports with breakout cables of 10 or 25, 32 ports of 50, or 16 ports of 40 or 100 GbE delivering predictable performance and zero packet loss at line-rate across each port and packet size
• SN2700M can be deployed to support 1 GbE and 10 GbE ports and is designed to be able to evolve over time to support 25, 40, 50, and 100 GbE speeds. This helps future-proof the users network architecture and allows for implementing significant speed upgrades to the architecture over time
• SN2700M provides ultra-low latency of under 300ns port-to-port. This is advantageous for flash storage which moved the latency bottleneck from storage media to the network, as well as for the bursty nature of today's software-defined and cloud driven data center traffic
• It provides high port density in a single rack unit, allowing for higher capacity and efficiency, simplifying scale-out environments and saving on total cost of ownership. Unique breakout cables fan out individual switch ports to multiple device ports
• Provides wire-rate performance with zero packet loss across all frame sizes, avoiding any negative impact on applications that could occur with frame loss as unexpected packet loss is unacceptable in modern data centers, especially within a storage network
• Capable of forwarding 100% capacity wire rate performance with zero packet loss across all ports concurrently at 100 GbE speeds while transferring data across both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks
• Designed to use less electric power than competing switches, with less than 6 watts per port, providing one of the industry's lowest power draws, producing less heat than competing products, and allowing reduced OpEx cost
• Provides enough internal bandwidth to carry all ports at 100 Gb/s bandwidths concurrently. This allows the switches to avoid head-of-line blocking which can reduce a switches overall performance and throughput
