FAQs

Q: What is the HPE SN6720C and what is it used for?
A: The HPE SN6720C is a 64Gb-capable enterprise Fibre Channel switch with 48 active 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ ports, designed for high-performance SAN (Storage Area Network) connectivity in data centres. It is ideal for connecting servers to all-flash storage arrays and NVMe-oFC workloads.

Q: What does '48/48' mean in the product name?
A: The '48/48' designation indicates that all 48 ports are active and licensed from the factory — no additional port licensing is required to use all 48 Fibre Channel ports.

Q: What transceiver type does the SN6720C use?
A: The SN6720C uses 32Gb Short Wave (SWL) SFP+ transceivers for fibre channel connectivity. These are suitable for short-distance intra-data-centre cabling using OM3 or OM4 multimode fibre.

Q: Is the HPE SN6720C compatible with non-HPE storage systems?
A: Yes, the SN6720C supports standard Fibre Channel protocols and can interoperate with third-party SAN storage arrays and host bus adapters (HBAs), in addition to HPE's own storage portfolio including Primera, Nimble, and 3PAR.

Q: Does this switch support NVMe over Fibre Channel?
A: Yes, the SN6720C is capable of supporting NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe-oFC), making it suitable for modern all-flash and NVMe-based storage deployments that require ultra-low latency fabric connectivity.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE S0W94A in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller with the HPE SN6720C (S0W94A) in stock and ready to ship. Contact us for volume pricing or additional configuration advice.
