Are you looking for a high-performance, low latency, Fibre Channel (FC) switch for the modern SAN? HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6730C is a 96 port switch that delivers 32 Gb and 64 Gb high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity from the server rack/storage rack as an edge or core switch. It empowers small, midsize, and large enterprises to rapidly deploy cloud-scale applications using extremely dense virtualized servers, providing greater bandwidth and consolidation benefits. The switch offers state-of-the-art analytics and telemetry capability built into its ASIC platform. For increased flexibility, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6730C is available half-populated or fully populated with either 32 Gb or 64 Gb transceivers or empty switch with 48 active ports with incremental 16 port licenses up to 96 ports.

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.

In today's data-driven world, where both the value and protection of data are paramount, IT organizations face increasing pressure to ensure their systems are secure, reliable, and efficient. The challenge lies not only in securing continuous, non-stop access to data but also in optimizing critical applications and resources to improve productivity. To address these demands, a simple and always-on infrastructure is essential—one that supports high throughput and low-latency requirements for critical applications. HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN3700B is key to helping organizations meet these challenges. By integrating this robust, high-performance network into their storage ecosystem, small and mid-sized businesses can effectively handle large volumes of data with minimal overhead. This enables faster decision making, improved operational efficiency, and a competitive edge, all without the complexity or cost typically associated with large enterprise-level solutions.
