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.
