HP Enterprise SN3600B 32Gb 24/8 8-port 16Gb Short Wave SFP+ Fibre Channel Switch - Switch - Managed - 8 X 16Gb Fibre Channel SFP+ + 16 X 32Gb Fibre Channel SFP+ Ports On Demand - Rack-mountable - AC 100 - 240 V - R4G55B

• 32Gb FC Gen6 affordability without compromise in functionality
  The HPE B-series SN3600B Fiber Channel Switch delivers exceptional price-performance in an entry-level Gen6 FC switch. Configurable with 16Gb FC SFP+ or 32Gb FC SFP+ optics to accommodate a customer's budget while being fully prepared for tomorrow.
• Flash-ready performance
  The HPE B-series SN3600B Fiber Channel Switch provides market-leading Gen6 32Gb throughput and low latency in an affordable 1U form factor. Delivers increased performance with an aggregate bandwidth of 768 Gbps for growing and dynamic workloads. Latency for locally switched ports is reduced to 900 nanoseconds (including FEC) using cut-through switching at 32 Gbps ready for latency-sensitive applications. Augment with ISL trunking to provide more effective load balancing in certain configurations.
• Operational simplicity
  The HPE B-series SN3600B Fiber Channel Switch can easily be installed and configured and simplifies SAN configuration in an easy 3-step process. Integrates with HPE Smart SAN for HPE 3PAR to simplify all-flash storage SAN deployments through automated SAN orchestration (SAN zoning) from hours to minutes. Easily validate infrastructure configurations, at the physical-level, with ClearLink Diagnostics before deploying the SAN into production.

Are you struggling to meet the I/O demands of hyperscale virtualization, cloud, or growing flash-based SANs? HPE B-series SN3600B Fiber Channel Switch provides Gen6 32 Gb Fiber Channel (FC) in an ultra-dense 1U format and is affordable for limited budgets. It can replace three generations of FC with its backward compatibility with 4, 8, and 16 Gb FC for your investment protection. Designed to build a flash-ready infrastructure, it specifically adapts to business application needs. Applications requiring more throughput and lower latency can take advantage of NVMe over FC ready support as well. SAN simplicity is achieved with a simple 3-step install process and SAN deployments with HPE 3PAR all-flash storage are automated using HPE Smart SAN for HPE 3PAR software. Data reliability is enhanced with forward error correction (FEC) by automatically detecting and recovering bit error along with HPE Power Pack+ software, which maintains efficient SAN-health.
