HPE SN6620C 32Gb 48/48 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ Fibre Channel v2 Switch

Are you looking for a high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity for NVMe/All-Flash arrays? HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C delivers 32 Gbps FC switching providing high-speed FC connectivity from the server rack to the SAN core. It empowers small, midsize, and large enterprises that are rapidly deploying cloud-scale applications providing the benefits of greater bandwidth, scale, and consolidation. The switch allows seamless transition to Fibre Channel Non-Volatile Memory Express (FC-NVMe) workloads whenever available without any hardware upgrade in the SAN. For flexibility, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C scales from 24-48 ports. Additionally, investing in this switch for the lower speed (8 or 16 Gbps) server rack gives you the flexibility to upgrade to 32 Gbps performance in the future.
