HPE StoreFabric SN6620C 24-port 32Gb SFP+ Fibre Channel 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.

• New subscription-based Advantage and Premier license bundles with Cisco DCNM / Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), Enterprise and SAN Analytics.:
• High-speed Fibre Channel Connectivity for NVMe/All-Flash Arrays: HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C provides consistent 32 Gbps low-latency performance across every FC port on the switch. | Delivers increased performance with an aggregate bandwidth of 1536 Gbps for growing and dynamic workloads. | Supports the performance and scale required to deploy a dedicated and standalone FC SAN connecting both initiators and targets without requiring any other switching infrastructure. | Powered by the same high-performance 32 Gbps ASIC that powers the HPE Storage Director Switch C-series SN8500C  portfolio. | FC-NVMe-ready SAN switch with enhanced buffer-to-buffer (B2B) credits connecting both storage and host ports and FC link encryption.
• More Flexibility: HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C provides an option to deploy as few as 24, 32 Gbps FC ports in the entry-level variant, which can grow in increments of 8 ports to 48 ports. | Allow users to deploy them with 32 Gb, 16 Gb, or 8 Gb optics to accommodate their budget while being fully prepared for tomorrow. | Increased fabric scalability provides more flexibility for a variety of SAN architectures.
• Easy Manageability: HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C supports enhanced diagnostic features such as inter-switch link (ISL) and host-bus-adapter (HBA) diagnostics, read diagnostic parameter, link cable beacon, and advanced reliability features such as forward error correction (FEC) with HBA ports. | Cisco | ® | Data Center Network Manager (Essentials Edition) software, included with the switch, provides a centralized management tool with task-based wizards that simplifies management of switches and fabrics. Additional advanced features are available with the DCNM licensed version, sold separately. | Starting from release 12.0.1a, DCNM is renamed as Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC). | HPE C-series SAN Insights (Cisco SAN Analytics) delivers deep visibility into I/O traffic between the compute and the storage infrastructure. This information is in addition to the already-available visibility obtained from individual ports, switches, servers, virtual machines, and storage arrays.
• Intelligent Network Services for SAN: HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C supports slow-drain detection and isolation, VSAN technology, access control lists for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, smart zoning, and other various services. | Provides visibility into all virtual machines that are accessing the storage LUNs in the fabric and provide an end-to-end view for analytics. | Delivers powerful Representational State Transfer (REST) and NX-API capabilities to enable flexible and rapid programming of utilities for the SAN.
