Storage Networking

HPE Storage Ethernet Switch H-series SN8325H half-width switches help organizations balance density, high availability, and affordability which helps to save space and costs on server, storage, and HCI connectivity. They can be used in data centers, edge locations, or containers where space is at a premium (for example, retail locations, healthcare facilities, media, financial, and enterprise branches).

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.

The HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN2600B is a cost-efficient, replication connectivity solution that quickly transports data over long distances between data centers, protecting valuable information from disruptions and outages. This product enables you to extend proactive monitoring between data centers to automatically detect WAN anomalies and avoid unplanned downtime. By driving more throughput with advanced compression technology, you can expand WAN capacity to meet increased data demands.
With powerful built-in technology, the HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN2600B overcomes the inherent challenges of latency and packet loss over distance, and can dramatically speed up replication performance to handle the unrelenting transfer of data between data centers.

Are you struggling to meet the I/O demands of hyperscale virtualization, cloud, or growing flash-based SANs?
HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN3600B provides Gen6 32Gb Fibre Channel (FC) in an ultra-dense 1U format from 8-ports up to 24-ports, and is affordable for limited budgets. It can replace three generations of FC with its backward compatibility with 4, 8, and 16Gb FC for your investment protection. Designed to build a flash-ready infrastructure, it specifically adapts to business application needs. Applications requiring more throughput and lower latency can also take advantage of NVMe over FC ready support. SAN simplicity is achieved with a simple 3-step install process and SAN deployments with HPE 3PAR all-flash storage are automated using HPE Smart SAN for HPE 3PAR software. Data reliability is enhanced with forward error correction (FEC) by automatically detecting and recovering bit error along with HPE Power Pack+ software, which maintains efficient SAN-health.

Today’s IT organizations are under pressure to keep pace with the growing avalanche of data traffic between data centers and the changes driven by virtualized application workloads. Faced with this challenge, coupled with rising Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements and recovery expectations, enterprise data centers need their disaster recovery plans to enable fast, continuous, and easy access to mission-critical data from anywhere in the world.

The HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN4000B with Brocade Fabric Vision technology delivers unprecedented performance, continuous availability, and simplified management to handle the unrelenting growth of data traffic between data centers.

The HPE Storage SN4000B is a purpose-built data center extension solution that maximizes performance and scalability for large, complex environments, allowing IT organizations to future-proof their storage extension infrastructure by adding more throughput capacity as their needs grow.
