Marketing Information

In today's data-driven world, where both the value and protection of data are paramount, IT organizations face increasing pressure to ensure their systems are secure, reliable, and efficient. The challenge lies not only in securing continuous, non-stop access to data but also in optimizing critical applications and resources to improve productivity. To address these demands, a simple and always-on infrastructure is essential-one that supports high throughput and low-latency requirements for critical applications. HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN3700B is key to helping organizations meet these challenges. By integrating this robust, high-performance network into their storage ecosystem, small and midsized businesses can effectively handle large volumes of data with minimal overhead. This enables faster decision making, improved operational efficiency, and a competitive edge, all without the complexity or cost typically associated with large enterprise-level solutions.

Features | Increase Performance for Application and Solid State Storage Architectures

The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN3700B delivers increased performance through a combination of improved throughput and low latency across 64 Gb links in hyper-scale virtualization, small to medium sized cloud infrastructures, and growing flash-based storage environments.

Improved performance of NVMe storage with 40% lower switching latency than 32 Gb. Latency for locally switched ports is 460ns including forward error correction (FEC)

With twenty-four 64 Gb ports it can scale up to 24 device ports for an aggregate throughput of 1.536 Tbps.
