HPE S1V11A | SN6720C 64Gb Fibre Channel Switch, 48-Port, 24 Active, 32Gb SW SFP+

The HPE SN6720C 64Gb Fibre Channel Switch is a 1U rack-mount enterprise SAN switch delivering 3 Tbps aggregate bandwidth with autosensing 8/16/32/64 Gbps per port. This 48/24 variant ships with 48 licensed ports and 24 ports active, populated with 32Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers — making it an ideal entry point for small-to-large enterprise SANs with a clear upgrade path to full 48-port density in 8-port increments via license.

Built on Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS, the SN6720C supports VSAN consolidation, NPIV per-VM identity, FC-NVMe readiness, and NX-API/REST automation — all with redundant hot-swap power and fans for maximum availability. Centralised management is available through Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), and advanced SAN Analytics, QoS, and IVR capabilities are unlockable via optional Advantage and Premier licenses. Verified compatible with HPE servers, HBAs, and storage via SPOCK. Buy today from iptrading.com.au — fast shipping and expert service across Australia.
