Frequently asked questions
What is the HPE SN6700B Fibre Channel switch used for?
- The HPE SN6700B is used to interconnect servers and dedicated high-performance storage area networks (SANs). It provides high-speed, low-latency Fibre Channel transport with included 32Gb SFP28 transceivers, making it ideal for virtualised datacentres and demanding storage environments.
Can the port capacity of the HPE SN6700B be expanded?
- Yes, the switch comes standard with 24 active ports and can be expanded up to 56 ports using 32 Ports on Demand (PoD). This allows organisations to scale their SAN fabric connectivity as capacity requirements increase without deploying additional chassis.
Does the HPE SN6700B come with a warranty in South Africa?
- Yes, this switch includes a 3-year limited manufacturer warranty covering parts and labour with next-business-day on-site response. Buyers in South Africa receive local support and fulfilment through Server Hub.
