Are you looking for a high performance Fibre Channel switch for the modern storage area network?

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C delivers 32 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) switching providing high-speed FC connectivity from the server rack to the SAN core. It empowers midsize, enterprise, and large enterprises that are rapidly deploying cloud-scale applications using extremely dense virtualized servers, providing the dual benefits of greater bandwidth and consolidation. The switch offers state-of-art analytics and telemetry capability built into its ASIC platform. For increased flexibility, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C scales from 8 to 32-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.

HPE LTO Ultrium, Super DLT and DLTtape IV Bar Code Label Packs provide an easy-to-use solution to the aggravation of bar coding.

Under constant pressure to deliver quality of service with limited resources, the last thing IT managers should be worrying about is why their in-house bar code labels aren't working properly or whose turn it is to operate (or run) the departmental label printer. Each HPE label pack of consecutively numbered bar codes contains 100 data labels and 10 cleaning cartridge labels. No two pack sequences are ever identical to avoid data integrity issues in archives. HPE Bar Code Label Packs will be available from most resellers that stock HPE brand media.

Finally, HPE Bar Code Label Packs have been fully tested to guarantee performance in demanding automation environments, so unlike cheaper alternatives, users can be certain that their backups will never be disrupted by bar code quality issues.

HPE XP for Compatible Extended Remote Copy (XRC) Software provides disaster protection and data migration capability for data stored on an HPE XP Disk Array by implementing IBM mainframe compatible asynchronous remote replication. XRC provides the same functionality as IBM Extended Remote Copy (now called IBM TotalStorage z/OS Global Mirror), and is compatible with System Data Mover (SDM) mainframe software. When data is written to the local XP disk array, XRC temporarily stores a timestamped copy of it in a sidefile. SDM in one of the mainframe hosts asynchronously reads the sidefile data from the local XP disk array and then writes the data to the remote disk array.
XRC can be combined with other XP disk array replication products for additional availability. When combined with Hitachi TrueCopy for Mainframe, XRC supports 3 Data Center disaster recovery solutions.

HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges provide reliable and low cost protection to guard your data against the threat of cyber attacks and ransomware, as well as meeting your demands for reliability when restoring data. They enable businesses to comply with the recommendations of law enforcement agencies around the world to maintain offline copies of their data. Built upon a legacy of nine generations, and with native transfer speeds of up to 1.44 TB/h for LTO-9, there is a platform for every budget. Secure AES-256 encryption provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. HPE StoreOpen and Linear Tape File System makes using tape as easy, flexible, portable and intuitive as using other removable and shareable media, such as a USB drive. Also, because LTO cartridges at rest require minimal additional power and cooling, they offer a greener, more sustainable long term archival solution for your data.
