Overview

Are you looking for a high performance Fibre Channel switch for the modern storage area network? The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C delivers 32Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) switching providing high-speed FC connectivity from the server rack to the SAN core. It empowers midsize, enterprise, and large enterprises that are rapidly deploying cloud-scale applications using extremely dense virtualized servers, providing the dual benefits of greater bandwidth and consolidation. The switch offers state-of-art analytics and telemetry capability built into its ASIC platform. For increased flexibility, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C scales from 8 to 32-ports. Additionally, investing in this switch for the lower-speed (8 or 16 Gbps) server rack gives you the flexibility to upgrade to 32Gbps performance in the future.

What s new

• New subscription-based Advantage and Premier license bundles with Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) / Cisco Nexuas Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), Enterprise and SAN Analytics

Features

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.

High Performance for NVMe/All-flash Arrays and Virtualized Workloads

HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C provides consistent 32Gbps low-latency performance across every FC port on the switch.

Delivers increased performance with an aggregate bandwidth of 1024Gbps for growing and dynamic workloads.

Delivers the same outstanding availability and reliability as previous generation HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C by providing optional redundancy on all major components such as power supplies and fans.

Provides visibility into each virtual machine logged into the fabric through HBAs capable of priority tagging the Virtual Machine Identifier (VMID) on every FC frame.

On-board hardware that protects the entire system from malicious attacks by limiting access to critical components such as the bootloader, system image loader and Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface.

Cisco Data Center Network Manager (Essentials Edition) software, included with switch, provides a centralized management tool with task-based wizards. Additional advanced features are available with the DCNM / Cisco Nexuas Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) licensed version, sold separately.

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C provides intelligent diagnostics tools such as inter-switch link diagnostics, read diagnostic parameters, protocol decoding, network analysis tools, and others for improved reliability, faster problem resolution, and reduced service costs.

Consolidate separate physical SAN fabrics into one large fabric for ease of management and reduced total cost of ownership.

Easy Manageability

Provides powerful Representational State Transfer (REST) and NX-API capabilities to enable flexible and rapid programming of utilities for the SAN.

Starting NX-OS 9.2(1), DCNM is renamed as Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC).

The VSAN technology provides a cost-effective way to consolidate resources while providing high resiliency to potential fabric disruptions.

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C supports slow-drain detection and isolation, VSAN technology, access control lists for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, smart zoning, and other various services.

Intelligent Network Services for Modern SAN

Lower initial investment and power consumption for entry-level configurations of up to 8 ports compared to a fully loaded 32-port switch.

Configurable with 16Gb FC SFP+ or 32Gb FC SFP+ optics to accommodate your budget while being fully prepared for tomorrow.

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C  provides an option to deploy as few as eight 32Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) ports which can grow from 8 ports to 16 ports, and thereafter with a port expansion module. Expanding up to a maximum of 32 ports.
