FAQs

Q: What does the 48/24 configuration mean on the HPE SN6720C?
A: The 48/24 designation means the switch chassis supports up to 48 ports physically, with 24 ports active and licensed by default. Additional ports can typically be enabled via port licensing upgrades as your SAN grows.

Q: What speed do the SFP+ transceivers support on this switch?
A: The SN6720C ships with 64Gb Short Wave SFP+ transceivers. The ports auto-negotiate and are backward compatible with 8Gb, 16Gb, and 32Gb Fibre Channel speeds, ensuring interoperability with existing FC infrastructure.

Q: Is the HPE SN6720C compatible with NVMe over Fibre Channel?
A: Yes. The SN6720C supports NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fibre Channel), making it suitable for ultra-low-latency all-flash and NVMe-based storage environments alongside traditional SCSI-based FC workloads.

Q: Which HPE storage platforms work with the SN6720C?
A: The SN6720C integrates natively with HPE Primera, Nimble Storage, and 3PAR arrays, and is also compatible with third-party Fibre Channel storage systems from Dell EMC, NetApp, Pure Storage, and others.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE SN6720C through iptrading.com.au in Australia?
A: Yes. iptrading.com.au is an Australian-owned and operated IT hardware reseller serving businesses since 2001. You can order the HPE SN6720C directly online or contact the team for a tailored quote including licensing, transceivers, and support options.

Q: Does the HPE SN6720C require additional licensing for full port activation?
A: The base 48/24 configuration includes 24 active ports. Enabling additional ports up to the 48-port maximum typically requires HPE port upgrade licences. Contact iptrading.com.au for licensing options and pricing.
