HPE StoreFabric SN6630C

Are you looking to modernize your storage area network? The all-flash data center and emerging NVMe storage requires a modern storage network that can keep up with pace of innovation seen with compute and storage resources. The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6630C is the next generation 96 port 2-rack unit Fibre Channel (FC) switch that provides high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity in the SAN. This switch offers state-of-art analytics and telemetry capability built into its next-generation Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) platform. The Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe)-ready switch allows a seamless transition to Fibre Channel Non-Volatile Memory Express (FC-NVMe) workloads whenever available without any hardware upgrade in the SAN. This high-density, highly reliable, and scalable, enterprise-class switch is ideal for medium to large departmental SANs.

• New subscription-based Advantage and Premier license bundles with Cisco DCNM/NDFC, Enterprise and SAN Analytics.:
• High-speed NVMe / Flash-ready Performance: HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6630C with centralized non-blocking arbitration, provides consistent 32 Gbps low-latency performance across traffic conditions for every Fibre Channel port on the switch. | Delivers increased performance with an aggregate bandwidth of 3 Tbps for growing and dynamic workloads. | It offers state-of-the-art SAN Insights (analytics) and telemetry capabilities that have been built into this next-generation hardware platform. | 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 SN6630C provides an option to deploy as few as 48, 32 Gbps FC ports in the entry-level variant, and then grow in increments of 16 ports to up to 96 ports. This allows four possible configurations of 48, 64, 80, and 96 ports. | The 32 Gbps ports allow users to deploy them on existing 16 or 8 Gbps transceivers, reducing initial CapEx and investment protection with an option to upgrade to 32 Gbps transceivers and adapters whenever needed. | Increased fabric scalability provides more flexibility for a variety of SAN architectures.
• Easy Manageability: HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6630C supports enhanced diagnostic features such as inter-switch link (ISL) and host-bus-adapter (HBA) diagnostics, read diagnostic parameters, 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 NX-OS 9.2(1), DCNM is renamed as Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC). | Cisco SAN Insights 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 SN6630C supports slow-drain detection and isolation, virtual SAN (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 offers 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.
