HPE StoreFabric B-series SAN Director Switch Family
Today we are witnessing continued exponential growth of mission-critical and business-critical workloads, increased server virtualization and accelerating all-flash storage technologies that have an ever-increasing requirement for more scale, 100% availability and reliability leading to infrastructure complexity and growing management costs. To meet these dynamic and growing business demands, organizations need to deploy infrastructure that can deliver greater consistency, predictability, and performance. Faced with exponential data growth, the network must evolve to enable businesses to thrive in this new era. To meet these dynamic and growing business demands, organizations need to deploy infrastructure that can deliver greater consistency, predictability, and performance.

The newest and most exciting storage advancement today is flash-based storage. The unprecedented speed and rapidly increasing cost-effectiveness of flash-based products are dramatically accelerating data center transformation. Tomorrow, next-generation flash storage based on Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over Fabrics will provide even greater value through significant performance gains. As companies redefine application performance with flash storage, HPE StoreFabric can help organizations modernize their storage networks to maximize productivity and increase the efficiency of their storage networks -even as they rapidly scale their environments.

The HPE StoreFabric SAN Directors are the industry's leading Fibre Channel switching infrastructure solutions that provide the tools to optimize NVMe storage, simplify operations, and automate SAN management tasks, while serving as a modular building block to accommodate growth in large-scale enterprise infrastructures with breakthrough performance, and energy efficiency with long-term investment protection.
