Key Features | High performance for all-flash arrays and virtual workloads.
The HPE Storage C Series SN6710C Fiber Channel Switch provides consistent low-latency 64 or 32 Gbps performance across all FC ports on the switch.
Delivers increased performance with 1.5 Tbps aggregate full-duplex bandwidth for growing dynamic workloads.
Delivers the same exceptional availability and reliability as the previous generation switch by providing optional redundancy on all major components, such as power supplies and fans.
Provides visibility into all virtual machines connected to the fabric through host bus adapters (HBAs) capable of priority tagging the virtual machine identifier (VMID) on all FC chassis.
Embedded hardware protects the entire system against malicious attacks by limiting access to critical components, such as the boot loader, system image loader, and Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface.
Investment protection
Available with 32Gb FC SFP+ or 64Gb FC SFP+ optical fibers depending on your budget.
Intelligent Network Services for Modern SAN Systems
The HPE Storage C Series SN6710C Fiber Channel Switch supports slow frame detection and isolation, VSAN technology, access control lists for hardware-based intelligent chassis processing, zoning, and other services.
VSAN technology provides a cost-effective solution for consolidating resources while providing high resilience to potential fabric disruptions.
Provides powerful NX-API capabilities to enable flexible and rapid SAN utility programming.
Ease of use
Provides intelligent diagnostic tools like Inter-Switch Link (ISL) and HBA diagnostics, remote SFP diagnostics (read diagnostic parameter), port tagging, and link-level forward correction (FEC) ), to resolve issues more quickly and reduce service costs.
Consolidate multiple separate physical SAN fabrics into a single extended fabric to simplify management and reduce total cost of ownership.
Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller software provides a centralized management tool with task-based wizards.These features are available with the HPE SN6710C/SN6720C Advantage license.
HPE C Series SAN Network Analysis provides deep visibility into I/O traffic between storage and compute infrastructure.These features will be available with the HPE C Series SN6710C/SN6720C Premier license (available at a later date).
