HPE S1V07A | SN6720C 64Gbps Fibre Channel Switch, 48-Port, 24 Active, No SFPs

The HPE SN6720C is a high-performance 64 Gbps Fibre Channel Switch designed to deliver ultra-low-latency SAN connectivity from the server rack to the storage core. With 48 total FC ports (24 ports active) and an aggregate bandwidth of 3 Tbps full-duplex, it scales seamlessly from 24 to 48 active ports in 8-port increments via license upgrade — no hardware changes required. This 1U rack-mountable switch autosenses port speeds at 8/16/32/64 Gbps and supports FC-NVMe workloads without additional hardware investment, making it ideal for enterprise SAN deployments requiring future-ready performance. Note: No SFP transceivers are included; optics must be purchased separately.

Powered by Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS, the SN6720C delivers enterprise-grade resiliency through optional dual hot-swappable power supplies, back-to-front cooling fans, VSAN resource consolidation, NPIV, and non-disruptive in-service software upgrades (ISSU). Centralised management is supported via Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), and advanced SAN analytics are available with a Premier license. REST and NX-API programmability enable rapid automation and integration into modern data centre workflows. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.
