HPE SN8500C/SN8700C 48-port 32Gb Fibre Channel Director Module - Switch - Managed - 48 x 32Gb Fibre Channel - rack-mountable

Are you looking to modernize your storage area network?
The HPE C-series SN8700C Fiber Channel Director Switch is a director-class SAN switch designed for deployment in small to medium-sized storage networks to support enterprise clouds and business transformation. It layers a comprehensive set of intelligent features onto a high-performance, protocol-independent switch fabric.
The HPE SN8700C Director Switch enables enterprise clouds, transforms large storage area networks, lowers operating costs, and deploys Fiber Channel (FC) and IBM Fiber Connectivity (FICON) on a single fabric.

• 64 Gb FC module fully populated with 64 Gb SFP+ transceivers
• 64 Gb FC short wave SFP+ transceiver

• Lower TCO with SAN consolidation
  The HPE C-series SN8700C Director Switch lets you easily consolidate data assets into fewer, larger, and more manageable SANs to reduce your hardware footprint and associated capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX). It provides line-rate, nonblocking, and predictable performance for all traffic conditions for every port up to 64 Gbps speed in the chassis. It offers VSAN technology, access control lists (ACLs) for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, and fabric-wide quality of service (QoS) enable migration from SAN islands to enterprise wide storage networks.
• High availability
  The HPE C-series SN8700C Director Switch offers fully redundant components, including fabric cards, supervisors, and power supplies. It provides grid redundancy on the power supply and 1 + 1 redundant supervisors. With the HPE C-series SN8700C Director Switch, users can add additional Fabric-3 modules to enable N + 1 fabric redundancy with no loss of performance. The port-channel capability allows you aggregate up to 16 physical links into one logical bundle. The bundle can consist of any speed-matched ports in the chassis, helping ensure that the bundle can remain active in the event of a port or module failure. It provides outstanding high availability, helping ensure that solutions exceed the maximum uptime requirements of demanding environments.
• Easy manageability
  The HPE C-series SN8700C Director Switch supports enhanced diagnostic features such as inter-switch link (ISL) and host-bus-adapter (HBA) diagnostics, read diagnostic parameters, link cable beacon, and advanced reliability features such as forward error correction (FEC) with HBA ports.
