Description

The HPE SN6710C 64Gb Fibre Channel Switch is a C-series SAN switch engineered for enterprise storage fabrics demanding consistent, low-latency performance. With 24 active ports licensed out of 24 total, each running at 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ and capable of 64Gbps maximum speed, it delivers 1.5 Tbps aggregate bandwidth full duplex — making it an ideal backbone for high-performance SAN environments. Hot-swappable power supplies, fans, and SFP+ optics enable continuous availability with no planned downtime.

Built on Cisco NX-OS architecture, the SN6710C supports VSAN-based fabric consolidation, smart zoning, VM visibility via VMID priority tagging, and hardware-enforced access control lists. Centrally managed through HPE's Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), it also supports non-disruptive software upgrades and SAN analytics for deep I/O traffic visibility (with Premier licence).

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the 24/24 port configuration and other SN6710C variants?
A: The 24/24 configuration (SKU S0W92A) means 24 total ports are present on the switch, all 24 of which are active and licensed. Other variants may ship with fewer active ports that require additional licences to unlock. This variant also includes 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ optics rather than 64Gb optics.

Q: Can the SN6710C operate at 64Gbps even though it ships with 32Gb SFP+ optics?
A: The switch hardware supports up to 64Gbps per port, but the included Short Wave SFP+ transceivers operate at 32Gbps. To achieve 64Gbps port speeds, you would need to replace the included optics with 64Gb SFP+ transceivers compatible with the SN6710C.

Q: What SAN management software is used with the HPE SN6710C?
A: The SN6710C is managed via HPE's Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), which provides centralised, task-based wizards for SAN provisioning and monitoring. With a Premier licence, HPE C-series SAN analytics adds deep I/O traffic visibility across the fabric.

Q: Does the SN6710C support virtualised environments and VM-level traffic visibility?
A: Yes. The SN6710C supports VMID priority tagging on every FC frame through compatible HBAs, enabling VM-level visibility across the SAN fabric. This helps administrators identify and prioritise traffic from individual virtual machines.

Q: Is the SN6710C suitable for high-availability SAN deployments?
A: Absolutely. The switch features hot-swappable dual redundant power supplies, hot-swappable fan trays, and hot-swappable SFP+ optics, along with non-disruptive software upgrades and stateful process restart — all designed to eliminate unplanned downtime in mission-critical storage environments.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE SN6710C (S0W92A) in Australia with local support?
A: Yes. The HPE SN6710C 64Gb 24/24 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ Fibre Channel Switch (S0W92A) is available from iptrading.com.au with competitive pricing and local Australian support. Contact the team at iptrading.com.au for pricing, availability, and configuration advice.
