Brand: HPE · SKU: Q0U54B (Example for a specific model) · MPN: Varies by specific model SKU · Category: Networking
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6600B is a high-performance, ultra-dense, highly scalable, enterprise-class storage networking switch delivering Gen6 Fibre Channel (FC) capabilities, including 32Gb and NVMe-ready support. It is designed to support data growth, demanding workloads, and data center consolidation. It features a highly dense 1U package, scaling from 24 to 64 ports (48 SFP+ ports and 4 QSFP ports, each capable of four 32Gb connections, or supporting 128Gb via QSFP). It offers improved throughput and low latency, with an onboard ASIC providing up to 566 million frames switched per second and up to 100 million IOPS. Port-to-port latency is as low as 700 nanoseconds using cut-through switching at 32Gb. It provides flexibility to utilize 32Gb as well as 16Gb optics for backward compatibility. The switch includes features like Ports on Demand (PoD) for scaling without downtime, In-flight encryption (FOS 8.2+), and is managed via a simplified, point-and-click user
