STORAGEWORKS SN6000 STACKABLE PERP 24-PORT DUAL POWER FC SWITCH IN
Overview
HP StorageWorks SN6000 Stackable 8Gb Fibre Channel Switches are designed to make Enterprise SANs affordable and easy-to-use, especially as the network expands. With low-cost, high-performance scalability, the single-power supply model can start with 8 or 20 enabled device ports and the dual-power supply SN6000 has 20 enabled device ports. All models support 8/4/2 Gbps speeds, plus (4) high-speed 10/20 Gbps stacking ports for linking SN6000s. Included Simple SAN Connection Manager (SSCM) software enables network management and storage provisioning from a single screen. Transparent Router functionality provides seamless, non-disruptive access to servers and storage on HP B-series and C-series SANs.; Add additional device ports and new switches for up to 120 usable device ports per stack (single manageable unit), or 500+ ports in multi-stack topologies. The 10 Gbps stacking ports may be upgraded to 20 Gbps speed, extending the solution lifespan and preserving investments.
Features
Build a Scalable SAN with Less Hardware and Less Complexity
⁍ 8 to 20 enabled 8 Gbps ports (single-power supply) model as well as 20 enabled 8 Gbps ports (dual-power supply) model for higher availability.
Affordable Performance
⁍ Industry leading ASIC technology provides superior switching, less than 200ns latency, ensuring optimal performance in enterprise environments.
Gain Operationally Efficiencies with Unique SAN Management Software
⁍ The Simple SAN Connection Manager (SSCM) GUI lets you deploy and manage network infrastructure (SN6000, EVA/MSA, HBAs) and provision storage from a single screen. Enterprise Fabric Management Suite (EFMS) (optional) delivers a comprehensive set of powerful, affordable, SAN fabric management tools.
Interoperability
⁍ Transparent Router (TR) – Industry standard NPIV provides low cost expansion and connectivity with existing HP StorageWorks B-series and C-series fabrics and enables cost-effective SAN expansion with management simplicity.
