Description

The HPE SN6720C 48-port 64Gb Fibre Channel switch is a 1RU SAN fabric switch running C-series MDS 9000 NX-OS, supplied with all 48 ports active (48/48) and 48 x 64Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers included. It delivers consistent low-latency 64/32Gbps performance on every port, making it well suited to all-flash arrays and virtualised workloads.

With 3 Tbps of aggregate bandwidth, dual hot-swappable power supplies, four hot-swappable fan trays and non-disruptive software upgrades, it is built for resilient data centre SANs. Built-in SAN analytics and telemetry, NPIV and NPV support, and REST and NX-API programmability make it straightforward to scale and automate. It is compatible with the C-series SN8700C, SN6610C, SN6620C and SN6630C family.
