About This Product

Overview

Are you struggling to meet the I/O demands of hyper-scale virtualization, large cloud infrastructures, and growing, NVMe storage environments?

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6700B is a highperformance, ultra-dense, highly scalable, and easy-to-use enterprise-class storage networking switch delivering Gen7 64Gb Fibre Channel (FC) capabilities. It is designed to support data growth, demanding workloads, and data center consolidation in small to large scale enterprise infrastructures. Delivering 64Gb performance, customized high port density, and integrated network sensors, it accelerates data access, adapts to evolving requirements, and drives 24x7 businesses. It can scale from 24 to 64 ports, all in an efficient 1U package. In addition, a simplified deployment process and a point-and-click user interface make the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6700B easy to use.

Features | Increase Performance for Application and Solid State Storage Architectures

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6700B delivers increased performance through a combination of improved throughput and low latency across 64Gb links in hyper-scale virtualization, large cloud infrastructures, and growing flash-based storage environments.

Improved performance of NVMe storage with 50% lower switching latency than 32Gb. Latency for locally switched ports is 460ns including forward error correction (FEC).

With 48 SFP+ ports and 8 DD ports, it can scale up to 64 device ports for an aggregate throughput of 4.096Tbps.

Ultra-dense and Highly Scalable

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6700B scales up to 64 device ports in an efficiently designed 1U form factor, delivering increased port density and space utilization for simplified scalability.

Each of the 48 SFP+ ports and 8 DD ports supports 8, 10, 16, 32, and 64Gb FC speeds.

Provides flexibility to utilize high-speed 64Gb and 32Gb optics on demand to meet growing data center needs and provide backward compatibility to older infrastructures.
