Description

Purpose-built extension platform for midrange storage

The HPE SN2600B B-Series SAN Extension Switch is a robust platform for midrange, multi-site data center environments implementing data protection solutions for blocks, files and tapes. Create a high-performance infrastructure between data centers for multi-site asynchronous and synchronous storage replication with centralized tape backup, restore and archive solutions. By using WAN-optimized TCP, disk and tape protocol acceleration and data compression, you can increase replication and backup throughput over long distances. This platform offers both FCIP (Fibre Channel over IP) and IP extension technology and can handle simultaneous replication of Fibre Channel and IP data storage arrays to consolidate replication workloads over WAN links. With twelve 32 Gbps-capable Fibre Channel ports and six 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports, this switch provides the bandwidth and throughput required for increased application performance over WAN links.

Cost-effective, scalable and flexible SAN expansion

With the HPE SN2600B B-Series SAN Extension Switch, organizations can quickly and cost-effectively scale their WAN rate from 1 Gbps to 2.5 Gbps by purchasing a full configuration with 2.5 Gbps WAN capacity or pay as you grow with an on-demand upgrade license. The base configuration of the HPE SN2600B B-Series SAN Extension Switch offers four 32 Gbps-capable Fibre Channel ports and six 1/10 GbE ports. Two of the Ethernet ports can be used as WAN ports with Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL) and IPsec. The on-demand upgrade license enables 8 additional Fibre Channel ports, includes 8-16 Gbit FC shortwave cables, adds 4 additional 1/10 GbE WAN ports and includes HPE Power Pack+ software. Software features:FC Trunking, Extension Trunking, Fabric Vision, FC Routing, Extended Fabrics. With a compression ratio of 4 to 1, organizations can increase replication throughput up to 10 Gbps, depending on the type of data and the characteristics of the WAN link.

Simplify disaster recovery and data protection

The HPE SN2600B B-Series SAN Extension Switch supports simple, comprehensive multi-site and branch office point-to-point SAN extensions and provides enterprise-class functionality for a variety of strategic IT initiatives, including demanding disaster recovery needs. The HPE SN2600B B-Series SAN Extension Switch centralizes data protection to consolidate infrastructure and management resources. It includes built-in tools to check the status of WAN links and network paths and validate proper setup of configurations prior to deployment.

Impressive peak performance

The HPE SN2600B SAN Extension Switch supports round-trip time (RTT) latency of up to 250 milliseconds and provides economical extension solutions over distances of up to 25,500 kilometers (15,845 miles). Leverage TCP acceleration to achieve higher replication speeds from storage devices and WAN-optimized TCP to ensure proper and lossless transmission of extension data. With twelve 32 Gbps-capable Fibre Channel ports, six 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports and a 2.5 Gbps WAN tunnel, this switch provides the bandwidth and throughput needed for higher application performance.
