Description

The HPE SN6710C 64Gb Fibre Channel Switch delivers enterprise-grade SAN connectivity for server rack to SAN core deployments. This 1U rack-mountable switch ships fully populated with all 24 ports active and includes 24 x 64Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers, providing 1.5 Tbps aggregate bandwidth end-to-end full duplex at consistent 64 or 32 Gbps low-latency performance across every port. Powered by Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS Software, it supports VSAN technology, hardware-based ACLs, slow-drain detection, and VM visibility via VMID tagging — making it ideal for high-density, mission-critical SAN environments.

The SN6710C integrates seamlessly within the HPE C-Series MDS 9000 ecosystem and supports optional redundant power supplies and fans for maximum availability. Advanced analytics and telemetry are built into the ASIC platform, with Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) centralised management available with Advantage licensing and C-Series SAN analytics with Premier licensing.

FAQs

Q: How many ports are active on the HPE SN6710C S0W93A out of the box?
A: The S0W93A ships as a 24/24 fully populated switch — all 24 Fibre Channel ports are active and include 64Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers, so no additional licences or upgrades are required to use every port.

Q: What port speeds does the SN6710C support?
A: Each port operates at either 64 Gbps or 32 Gbps Fibre Channel, delivering consistent low-latency performance across all 24 ports with an aggregate bandwidth of 1.5 Tbps end-to-end full duplex.

Q: Is the SN6710C compatible with existing MDS 9000 infrastructure?
A: Yes. The SN6710C is part of the HPE C-Series MDS 9000 ecosystem and is compatible with other C-Series switches and directors running MDS 9000 NX-OS Software, making it straightforward to integrate into existing SAN fabrics.

Q: What management and analytics options are available for this switch?
A: Centralised management via Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) is available with an Advantage licence. C-Series SAN analytics for deep I/O traffic visibility requires a Premier licence. NX-API is available natively for flexible SAN programmability without additional licensing.

Q: Does the SN6710C support high availability features?
A: Yes. The switch supports optional redundant power supplies and fans for component-level resiliency. It also includes slow-drain detection and isolation, VSAN technology for fabric resiliency, and onboard hardware security for bootloader and system image protection.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE SN6710C (S0W93A) in Australia through IP Trading?
