Description
Performance and Scalability
The HPE E7Y69B SN8000B is a high-performance and scalable Fibre Channel switch. It has 16GB of memory and 48 ports that support SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers, allowing for connectivity to a wide range of devices. The switch is designed for use in enterprise storage networks and can handle large amounts of data traffic while maintaining low latency. It also supports advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) and Virtual SANs (VSANs) to improve network performance and flexibility. Additionally, the switch supports multiple protocols like FC, FCoE and iSCSI and also supports advanced features such as FC-NVMe for better performance and scalability.
Reliability and Availability
Reliability refers to the ability of a device or system to function consistently and without failure. The HPE E7Y69B SN8000B 16GB 48 Ports SFP Integrated Fibre Channel Switch is designed to be highly reliable, with features such as redundant power supplies and fans, as well as advanced software features such as automatic failover and load balancing. These features ensure that the switch can continue to operate even in the event of a component failure, minimizing downtime and maximizing uptime.
Availability, on the other hand, refers to the amount of time that a device or system is able to perform its intended function. The HPE E7Y69B SN8000B 16GB 48 Ports SFP Integrated Fibre Channel Switch is designed to provide high availability, with features such as redundant links and advanced software features that allow for automatic failover and load balancing. This ensures that the switch can continue to operate even in the event of a component failure, minimizing downtime and maximizing uptime. Additionally, the switch is designed to be easy to manage, with a user-friendly interface and advanced monitoring and diagnostic tools, which can help to further increase availability.
Energy Efficiency and Power Savings
for energy efficiency and power savings. This switch uses advanced power management techniques to reduce power consumption, including dynamic power management, which automatically adjusts power usage based on the current workload. Additionally, the switch has built-in power monitoring and reporting capabilities, allowing administrators to track and optimize power usage.
Another key feature of the switch is its use of high-efficiency power supplies, which convert AC power to DC power with minimal loss, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced heat output. The switch also includes energy-saving features such as port shutdown, which allows administrators to shut down ports that are not in use to further reduce power consumption.
The HPE E7Y69B SN8000B also has a feature known as “Green Mode” that optimizes the power consumption of the switch. This feature automatically adjusts the power usage of the switch based on the current workload, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced heat output.
Furthermore, the HPE E7Y69B SN8000B has a feature known as “Power Packet” which is a technique that allows the switch to automatically adjust its power usage based on the type of traffic that is passing through it. This feature ensures that the switch is using the minimum amount of power required to handle the current traffic, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced heat output.
