Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 25GbE switch and why do I need one?
A 25GbE switch provides high-speed connectivity between servers and storage systems at 25 gigabits per second, delivering significantly faster data transfer than traditional 10GbE infrastructure. The HPE StoreFabric SN2010M is ideal for organizations requiring low-latency, high-throughput networking for flash storage, virtualization, and data center consolidation projects.
How does the SN2010M improve storage performance?
The StoreFabric SN2010M's ultra-low latency architecture and multi-speed port flexibility enable faster data access and reduced bottlenecks between compute and storage resources. This directly improves flash ROI by maximizing the performance benefits of high-speed storage investments in demanding data center environments.
Can the HPE StoreFabric SN2010M support mixed-speed networks?
Yes. With support for 1, 10, 25, 40, 50, and 100GbE speeds across its 18 SFP28 and 4 QSFP28 ports, the SN2010M provides flexible multi-speed connectivity, allowing you to integrate legacy 1/10GbE infrastructure alongside modern 25/40/50/100GbE systems in a single fabric.
What are QSFP28 ports used for?
The 4 QSFP28 ports on the SN2010M support higher-speed uplinks (40, 50, and 100GbE), enabling efficient core-to-edge connectivity and aggregation of multiple lower-speed ports into high-capacity backbone links for scalable data center networking.
