Description

The HPE SN6720C 64Gb Fibre Channel Switch delivers high-density, high-performance SAN connectivity for enterprise storage environments. Configured as a 48-port active (48/48) switch with 64Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers, it provides the bandwidth and low latency required by mission-critical workloads, NVMe-oF deployments, and large-scale virtualised infrastructures. The v2 platform builds on proven SN6720C architecture with enhanced port density and throughput to support growing data centre storage fabrics.

Compatible with HPE and third-party SAN environments, the SN6720C integrates with HPE Storage Fabric Manager and Brocade-based SAN management tools, simplifying zoning, monitoring, and diagnostics across the fabric. Whether expanding an existing Fibre Channel fabric or deploying a new high-speed SAN, this switch delivers the reliability and performance enterprise teams demand.

FAQs

Q: What does the 48/48 port configuration mean on the HPE SN6720C?
A: The 48/48 designation means the switch has 48 total physical ports, all 48 of which are active and licensed from the factory. No additional port licensing is required to use all 48 ports at full 64Gb speed.

Q: What fibre type is required for the Short Wave SFP+ transceivers?
A: The 64Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers operate at 850nm and require OM4 (or OM5) multimode fibre optic cabling for optimal performance at 64Gb speeds. They are not compatible with single-mode fibre.

Q: Is the HPE SN6720C compatible with NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe-oF)?
A: Yes. The SN6720C running Brocade Fabric OS supports NVMe-oF (FC-NVMe), enabling ultra-low latency storage connectivity for all-flash arrays and next-generation storage platforms.

Q: Can the SN6720C be managed alongside other HPE SAN switches?
A: Yes. The SN6720C integrates with HPE Storage Fabric Manager and is compatible with Brocade Network Advisor, providing centralised zoning, health monitoring, and diagnostics across mixed HPE Fibre Channel fabrics.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE SN6720C (S0W95B) in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller offering the HPE SN6720C S0W95B with local support and fast delivery. Contact the team for pricing, availability, and configuration advice.

Q: What HPE storage platforms is the SN6720C qualified to work with?
A: The HPE SN6720C is qualified with HPE Primera, Alletra, MSA, and 3PAR storage platforms, as well as third-party arrays. Always verify the HPE Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) tool for the latest interoperability matrix.
