Frequently asked questions
What is the HPE SN6720C Fibre Channel switch used for?
- The HPE SN6720C connects enterprise servers to high-performance storage area networks (SANs). Delivering 64Gb Fibre Channel speeds and 3072 Gbps aggregate bandwidth, it facilitates rapid data transfer for virtualised environments and critical database workloads.
Can the HPE SN6720C be expanded beyond 24 ports?
- Yes, the switch comes with 24 active 64Gb SFP+ ports and supports expansion up to 48 ports using Ports on Demand activation. This allows organisations to scale their storage network capacity within the same 1U rack chassis as demands increase.
Does this switch include a local South African warranty?
- Yes, it is covered by a 1-year limited parts and labour warranty with next business day on-site response. Warranty support and service requests are facilitated locally through Server Hub in South Africa.
