Description
Product Overview to the Q0U61B Store Fabric SN6600B 32GB Switch
The Q0U61B Store Fabric SN6600B 32GB Switch is a high-performance Fibre Channel switch designed for enterprise data centers. It is part of the HPE SN6600B Series of Fibre Channel switches, which are known for their scalability, reliability and performance. The switch is designed with 48/48 Power Pack+ technology, which allows high density port count, and it also features short wave SFP+ technology, which allows for high-speed data transfer. It is a managed switch, which means that it can be easily configured and managed through a web interface or command-line interface. The switch also supports advanced traffic management, Quality of Service (QoS), flow control and congestion management, making it ideal for environments with high-bandwidth requirements.
Short Wave SFP+ Technology
Short wave SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) technology refers to the use of optical transceivers that operate on a wavelength of 850nm. These transceivers are used to connect the switch to other devices, such as servers, storage arrays, and other switches, over optical fibers.
Short wave SFP+ transceivers offer several advantages over long wave transceivers, which operate on a wavelength of 1310nm. These advantages include:
- Higher data transfer rates: Short wave SFP+ transceivers support data transfer rates of up to 16 Gbps, while long wave transceivers typically support rates of up to 8 Gbps.
- Shorter transmission distances: Short wave SFP+ transceivers can transmit data over shorter distances than long wave transceivers, typically up to 300 meters, which makes them ideal for use in data centers where devices are typically located close to each other.
- Lower power consumption: Short wave SFP+ transceivers consume less power than long wave transceivers, which can help to reduce energy costs and improve the overall efficiency of the network.
The Q0U61B Store Fabric SN6600B 32GB 48/48 Power Pack+ Short Wave Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) Integrated FC 48-Ports managed Switch is designed to support short wave SFP+ technology, which allows the switch to reach high-speed data transfer rates of up to 32 Gbps, and it also allows the switch to connect to other devices over shorter distances, which is ideal for data center environments where devices are typically located close to each other.
Integrated Fibre Channel (FC) Ports
The Q0U61B Store Fabric SN6600B 32GB switch features integrated Fibre Channel (FC) ports, which provide high-speed connectivity for storage area networks (SANs). These ports support data transfer rates of up to 32 Gbps, making them well-suited for high-performance storage environments. With 48 FC ports, the switch offers a high-density port count and supports a large number of storage devices, providing scalability and flexibility for growing data centers. Additionally, the integrated FC ports are fully compliant with FC standards and are backward compatible with 8 and 16 Gbps FC devices. This makes the switch suitable for a wide range of applications and helps to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
Advanced Traffic Management
The Q0U61B HPE SN6600B 32GB Short Wave SFP+ 48-Ports managed switch features advanced traffic management capabilities to help ensure that data is transmitted and received in an efficient and reliable manner. The switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) features that allow administrators to prioritize certain types of traffic, such as storage and data backup traffic, over other types of traffic. This helps to ensure that critical data is transmitted in a timely manner and that network resources are used efficiently.
Additionally, the switch supports advanced congestion management features that help to prevent network bottlenecks and ensure that data is transmitted at the highest possible speeds. This includes support for flow control, which allows the switch to regulate the flow of data, and support for buffer credits, which help to ensure that data is transmitted in a timely manner even in high-congestion situations.
Furthermore, the switch also offers advanced security features such as access control list (ACL) and secure shell (SSH) which helps to secure the network against unauthorized access and protect against data breaches. The switch also offers advanced diagnostic and troubleshooting tools that allow administrators to quickly identify and resolve any network issues, further enhancing the switch’s reliability and ensuring that data is transmitted and received without interruption.
Overall, the advanced traffic management features of the Q0U61B HPE SN6600B 32GB Short Wave SFP+ 48-Ports managed switch help to ensure that data is transmitted and received in an efficient and reliable manner, and it also helps to optimize network performance and security.
