Features

Increase Performance for Application and Solid State Storage Architectures
- The HPE B-series SN6700B Fibre Channel Switch delivers increased performance through a combination of improved throughput and low latency across 64Gb links in hyper-scale virtualization, large cloud infrastructures, and growing flash-based storage environments.
- Improved performance of NVMe storage with 50% lower switching latency than 32Gb. Latency for locally switched ports is 460 ns including forward error correction (FEC).^[1]
- With 56 SFP+ ports, it can scale up to 56 device ports for an aggregate throughput of 3.584Tb/s.^[1]

Ultra-dense and Highly Scalable
- The HPE B-series SN6700B Fibre Channel Switch scales up to 56 FC ports in an efficiently designed 1U form factor, delivering increased port density and space utilization for simplified scalability.
- Each of the 56 SFP+ ports supports 8, 10, 16, 32, and 64Gb FC speeds.
- Provides flexibility to utilize high-speed 64Gb and 32Gb optics on demand to meet growing data center needs and provide backward compatibility to older infrastructures.
