Description
The HPE SN2100M 100GbE 16QSFP28 Switch (Q2F23A) delivers high-performance, low-latency, and zero packet-loss Ethernet connectivity for demanding data center environments. Designed for modern workloads and enhanced for storage and hyper-converged infrastructure, this compact 1U half-width switch supports 16 x 100GbE QSFP28 ports and ensures full line-rate performance across Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks.
With ultra-low latency under 300ns, dynamic shared buffers, and breakout capabilities, the SN2100M enables scalable and efficient deployments in top-of-rack (ToR) and spine-leaf architectures. Supporting flexible port speeds from 1GbE to 100GbE, it is ideal for flash storage, software-defined data centers, and mission-critical applications.
