Frequently asked questions
What is the HPE SN6700B Fibre Channel switch used for?
- The HPE SN6700B is deployed in enterprise storage area networks (SANs) to interconnect servers and storage arrays at high speeds. With 64Gb Fibre Channel connectivity and 3.584 Tbps aggregate bandwidth, it facilitates rapid data transfers, low-latency workloads, and scalable fabric connectivity.
Can the port capacity of the HPE SN6700B be expanded?
- Yes, the switch comes with 24 active 64Gb SFP56 ports and supports an additional 32 ports via Ports on Demand licensing. This enables organisations to scale from 24 up to 56 ports in the same 1U chassis as storage requirements grow.
Does the HPE SN6700B switch include a warranty?
- Yes, this unit includes a 3-year limited warranty covering parts and labour with next business day on-site response. South African buyers receive local support and order assistance via Server Hub.
