Overview

 

 

 

 

 

 

High-speed Fibre Channel Connectivity for NVMe/All-Flash Arrays

• HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C provides consistent 32 Gbps low-latency performance across every FC port on the switch.
• Delivers increased performance with an aggregate bandwidth of 1536 Gbps for growing and dynamic workloads.
• Supports the performance and scale required to deploy a dedicated and standalone FC SAN connecting both initiators and targets without requiring any other switching infrastructure.
• Powered by the same high-performance 32 Gbps ASIC that powers the HPE Storage Director Switch C-series SN8500C  portfolio.
• FC-NVMe-ready SAN switch with enhanced buffer-to-buffer (B2B) credits connecting both storage and host ports and FC link encryption.

 

More Flexibility

• HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C provides an option to deploy as few as 24, 32 Gbps FC ports in the entry-level variant, which can grow in increments of 8 ports to 48 ports.
• Allow users to deploy them with 32 Gb, 16 Gb, or 8 Gb optics to accommodate their budget while being fully prepared for tomorrow.
• Increased fabric scalability provides more flexibility for a variety of SAN architectures.

 

Easy Manageability

• HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C supports enhanced diagnostic features such as inter-switch link (ISL) and host-bus-adapter (HBA) diagnostics, read diagnostic parameter, link cable beacon, and advanced reliability features such as forward error correction (FEC) with HBA ports.
• Cisco® Data Center Network Manager (Essentials Edition) software, included with the switch, provides a centralized management tool with task-based wizards that simplifies management of switches and fabrics. Additional advanced features are available with the DCNM licensed version, sold separately.
• Starting from release 12.0.1a, DCNM is renamed as Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC).
• HPE C-series SAN Insights (Cisco SAN Analytics) delivers deep visibility into I/O traffic between the compute and the storage infrastructure. This information is in addition to the already-available visibility obtained from individual ports, switches, servers, virtual machines, and storage arrays.

 

Intelligent Network Services for SAN

• HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C supports slow-drain detection and isolation, VSAN technology, access control lists for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, smart zoning, and other various services.
• Provides visibility into all virtual machines that are accessing the storage LUNs in the fabric and provide an end-to-end view for analytics.
• Delivers powerful Representational State Transfer (REST) and NX-API capabilities to enable flexible and rapid programming of utilities for the SAN.
