Overview
The HP SN6000C Fibre Channel Switch is a high-performance, flexible, cost-effective platform providing high-density, 8 Gb/s ports for storage networking deployments in small, medium-sized, and large enterprise environments. The SN6000C offers outstanding value by providing high-availability, security, and ease of use at a cost-effective price in a compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor. With the flexibility to expand from 16 to 48 ports in 8-port increments, the SN6000C offers the densities required to scale from an entry-level departmental switch to top-of-the-rack switch to edge connectivity in enterprise SANs. The SN6000C delivers a non-blocking architecture, with all 48 1/2/4/8-Gb/s ports operating at line rate concurrently. The SN6000C is powered by NX-OS Software and is compatible with HP SN8000C and SN8500C Multilayer Directors and C-series MDS 9100 and 9200 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches, providing transparent, end-to-end service in core-edge deployments.
  • With 8 Gb/s of dedicated bandwidth for each port and aggregate platform bandwidth of 384 Gb/s, the HPE SN6000C Fibre Channel Switch is designed to meet the performance and scalability requirements of the most demanding environments.
  • Supports innovative features such as VSANs, PortChannels, quality of service (QoS), SAN security, SAN management, hardware-enforced zoning, and In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) at no additional cost to the user.
  • The HPE SN6000C FC Switch is designed for mission-critical environments in which downtime is unacceptable.
  • Supports SAN plug-and-play capability as well as built-in storage network management, with all features available through a command-line interface (CLI) or the Cisco Data Center Network Manager for simplified storage management.
