Brand: HPE · SKU: SN2600B · MPN: SN2600B · Category: Networking
The HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN2600B is a cost-effective, reliable, and secure platform purpose-built to handle the unrelenting growth of data traffic between data centers in Fibre Channel and IP storage environments. It minimizes disruptions, maintains SLAs, and secures data-in-flight. The base configuration provides four 32 Gb/s-capable Fibre Channel ports and two 1GbE Ethernet ports with Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL) and IPsec. The switch supports extension over Round-Trip Time (RTT) latency up to 250 milliseconds and distances up to 25,500 kilometers (15,845 miles). It handles simultaneous replication from Fibre Channel and IP storage arrays (FCIP and IP extension technology). Optional upgrade licenses enable up to twelve 32Gbps-capable Fibre Channel ports, six 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports, and advanced software features like Fabric Vision, Extension Trunking, Fibre Channel Trunking, and Integrated Routing. It features advanced compression technology (up to 4:1
