HPE B-series SN6650B

As enterprises respond to the digital transformation, data centers are under pressure to deliver greater performance, agility and operational efficiency to address exponential data growth and dynamic business demands. To gain the performance required, organizations are transitioning to all-flash data storage in their data center, which requires a modern storage network that can keep pace with innovations in compute and storage resources. By modernizing the SAN, organizations will be able to maximize productivity and increase the efficiency of their storage investments and futureproof them for emerging protocols like NVMe as well as slower FC speeds at the same time, even as they rapidly scale their environments. Moreover, the addition of automation 32Gb technology to Fibre Channel will transform SAN management by simplifying operations and freeing up resources to focus on business optimization and revenue opportunities.

The HPE SN6650B 32Gb FC Switch provides the tools to optimize NVMe storage and automate SAN management tasks. It’s a high-port density building block with 128 Fibre Channel ports increasing scale with 33% more connectivity at greater speeds up to 4 Tbps total system bandwidth for data center consolidation and the most demanding all flash workloads. New automation capabilities enable DevOps resources to automate operations to increase productivity with simple and open automation through open APIs and the Ansible automation engine. Enterprises can automate repetitive tasks and deliver consistent performance by eliminating human error. The NVMe-ready switch drives innovation by allowing organizations to seamlessly integrate with next-generation flash storage without a disruptive rip-and-replace. The HPE SN6650B enables new insight into NVMe storage fabrics with modern I/O traffic visibility to increase the efficiency of the SAN.
