HPE S0W94B | SN6720C 64Gb Fibre Channel Switch, 48/48 Ports, 32Gb SW SFP+, v2

The HPE SN6720C 64Gb Fibre Channel Switch delivers enterprise-grade SAN connectivity in a 1RU rack-mount form factor, purpose-built for high-density storage environments. This 48/48 active-port configuration ships with 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ optics included, delivering full non-blocking 64 Gbps line-rate performance across all ports and an aggregate bandwidth of 3 Tbps end-to-end full duplex. Seamless FC-NVMe workload support requires no hardware upgrade, making it ideal for organisations transitioning modern NVMe-based storage into existing Fibre Channel SANs.

Built on Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS, the SN6720C supports VSAN-based SAN consolidation, NPIV for per-VM SAN identity, NDFC centralised management, and NX-API/REST API automation. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and back-to-front fans ensure high availability, while non-disruptive software upgrades (ISSU) minimise planned maintenance windows. The v2 SKU designation delivers upfront cost relief without compromising capability. Need it fast? iptrading.com.au delivers across Australia — shop now.
