Gen8 128G Performance
With 56 128G SFP ports and unmatched low latency, this switch delivers exceptional bandwidth and throughput, making it ideal for fueling enterprise AI and modern workloads.
High-density 1U Switch
With its compact design, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6800B enables efficient use of rack space while providing the scalability necessary for future growth. Scale from 24x to 56x 128G ports in 8-port increments, on demand, utilizing four 8-port port-on-demand (POD) kits.
Quantum-safe Architecture
Built on a cyber-resilient, quantum-safe architecture that fortifies the SAN to protect critical data and applications from quantum computing and cybersecurity threats. Protects against unauthorized access by securing storage traffic through Fibre Channel isolation and role-based access controls.
Self-healing Technology
Built-in congestion management helps ensure traffic flows smoothly and performance remains consistent, while self-healing capabilities maintain uptime when issues arise. Set-and-forget automation eliminates the need for constant monitoring and manual intervention, reducing troubleshooting time.
Simplified SAN Management
To simplify SAN operations, HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN6800B offers easy-to-use management tools that improve efficiency and provide organizations with greater visibility and control. The switch features a built-in simplified user interface making it easier to manage everyday tasks.
What is new supporting point:
128G Connectivity: The SN6800B doubles the bandwidth of previous Gen7 switches, offering 128Gbps line speeds across its ports.
Post-quantum Cryptography (PQC): The Gen8 architecture introduces quantum-resistant algorithms and protocols to protect data against future decryption by quantum computers.
Adaptive Traffic Optimizer: Automatically classifies and prioritizes traffic based on protocol, speed, and latency profile, helping ensure that slower devices do not block high-speed NVMe or FC flows.
SAN Fabric Intelligence (SAN FI): Provides end-to-end visibility by correlating server, storage, and virtual machine resources, which automates troubleshooting and management.
