High Performance for All-flash Arrays and Virtualized Workloads
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-Series SN6720C provides consistent 64 or 32 Gbps low-latency performance across every FC port on the switch.
Delivers increased performance with an aggregate bandwidth of 3 Tbps end-to-end full duplex for growing and dynamic workloads.
Delivers the same outstanding availability and reliability as the previous generation switch by providing optional redundancy on all major components such as power supplies and fans.
Provides visibility into each virtual machine logged into the fabric through host bus adapters (HBAs) capable of priority tagging the virtual machine identifier (VMID) on every FC frame.
Onboard hardware that protects the entire system from malicious attacks by limiting access to critical components such as the bootloader, system image loader, and Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface.

Investment Protection
Available with 32 Gb FC SFP+ or 64 Gb FC SFP+ optics to accommodate your budget.
-
Intelligent Network Services for Modern SAN
The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-Series SN6720C supports slow-drain detection and isolation, VSAN technology, access control lists for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, smart zoning, and other services.
The VSAN technology provides a cost-effective way to consolidate resources while providing high resiliency to potential fabric disruptions.
Provides powerful NX-API capabilities to enable flexible and rapid programming of utilities for the SAN.
-
Easy Manageability
Provides intelligent diagnostics tools such as Inter-Switch Link (ISL) and HBA diagnostics, remote SFP (read diagnostic parameter) diagnostics, remote port beaconing, and link-level forward error correction (FEC) for faster problem resolution and reduced service costs.
Consolidate separate physical SAN fabrics into one large fabric for ease of management and reduced total cost of ownership.
Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) software provides a centralized management tool with task-based wizards. These features are available with the HPE SN6710C/SN6720C Advantage license.
HPE C-series SAN analytics delivers deep visibility into I/O traffic between the compute and the storage infrastructure. These features will be available with the HPE SN6710C/SN6720C Premier license (available at a future date).

Are you looking for a high-performance Fibre Channel (FC) switch for the modern SAN? The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-Series SN6720C delivers 32 or 64 Gbps Fibre Channel switching, providing high-speed FC connectivity from the server rack to the SAN core. It empowers small, midsize, and large enterprises rapidly deploying cloud-scale applications using extremely dense virtualized servers, providing the dual benefits of greater bandwidth and consolidation. The switch offers state-of-the-art analytics and telemetry capability built into its ASIC platform. For increased flexibility, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-Series SN6720C is available partially populated or fully populated with either 64 Gb or 32 Gb transceivers. Additionally, investing in this switch for the lower-speed (32 Gbps) server rack gives you the flexibility to upgrade to 64 Gbps performance in the future.
