Description
The HPE SN6600B 32Gb Fibre Channel Switch (Q0U58C) is a next-generation, ultra-dense storage networking switch designed to address the performance and scalability demands of modern data centers. With NVMe-ready architecture, 32Gb and 128Gb FC performance, and an efficient 1U form factor, it delivers unmatched throughput and flexibility for flash-based storage, hyper-scale virtualization, and large cloud infrastructures.
This switch supports up to 64 ports using 48 SFP+ and 4 QSFP+ ports, providing an aggregate bandwidth of 2Tbps. Each QSFP port supports break-out capability for maximum scalability. With simplified deployment, deep analytics through HPE Power Pack+, and compatibility with existing 16Gb/32Gb transceivers, the SN6600B ensures forward-looking investment protection and operational ease.
Ideal for enterprises consolidating data centers or upgrading to flash storage, it offers in-flight AES-GCM-256 encryption, multitenancy support, and real-time diagnostics via SANnav and SAN Network Advisor.
