HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-Series SN6730C

High Performance for All-flash Arrays, Virtualized, and NVMe Workloads

HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-Series SN6730C provides consistent 32 or 64 Gbps low-latency, line-rate performance across every FC port on the switch.

Delivers increased performance with an aggregate bandwidth of 6 Tbps end-to-end full duplex for growing and dynamic workloads in a 2RU form factor.

Delivers the same outstanding availability and reliability as the previous generation switch by providing optional redundancy on all major components such as power supplies and fans.

Provides visibility into each virtual machine logged into the fabric through host bus adapters (HBAs) capable of priority tagging the virtual machine identifier (VMID) on every FC frame.

Investment Protection

Available with 32 Gb FC SFP+, 64 Gb FC SFP+ optics or non-populated to accommodate your budget.

Intelligent Network Services for Modern SAN

HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-Series SN6730C supports slow-drain detection and isolation, VSAN technology, access control lists for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, smart zoning, and other services.

The VSAN technology provides a cost-effective way to consolidate resources while providing high resiliency to potential fabric disruptions.

Provides powerful NX-API capabilities to enable flexible and rapid programming of utilities for the SAN.

Easy Manageability

Provides intelligent diagnostics tools such as Inter-Switch Link (ISL) and HBA diagnostics, remote SFP (read diagnostic parameter) diagnostics, remote port beaconing, and link-level forward error correction (FEC) for faster problem resolution and reduced service costs.

Consolidate separate physical SAN fabrics into one large fabric for ease of management and reduced total cost of ownership.
