To remain competitive, IT organizations must keep pace with ever-increasing workloads without a similar increase in their budgets or

resources. While virtualization has provided some relief by enabling the benefits of faster deployment and consolidation, it also tends

to put additional stress on data center networks. In addition, the move toward cloud computing, which promises greater efficiency

and a more service-oriented business model, means that these networks will face even greater demands.

The HP SN6000B Fibre Channel Switch meets the demands of hyper-scale, private cloud storage environments by delivering market-

leading 16 Gb Fibre Channel technology and capabilities that support highly virtualized environments. Designed to enable

maximum flexibility and investment protection, the SN6000B Switch is configurable in 24, 36, or 48 ports and supports 4, 8, 10, or

16 Gbps speeds in an efficiently designed 1U package. It also provides a simplified deployment process and a point-and-click user

interface-making it both powerful and easy to use. The SN6000B Switch offers low-cost access to industry-leading Storage Area

Network (SAN) technology while providing "pay-as-you-grow" scalability to meet the needs of an evolving storage environment.

The SN6000B is available in four models:

HP SN6000B 16Gb 48-port/48-port Active Power Pack+ Fibre Channel Switch

HP SN6000B 16Gb 48-port/24-port Active Power Pack+ Fibre Channel Switch

HP SN6000B 16Gb 48-port/48-port Active Fibre Channel Switch

HP SN6000B 16Gb 48-port/24-port Active Fibre Channel Switch

Power Pack+ includes additional software: Adaptive Networking, Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, Extended Fabric, Performance

Monitor, and Server Application Optimization. Power Pack+ software provides the SAN administrator with the necessary tools to

monitor the health and performance of the network, while also ensuring the highest levels of security, scalability and manageability.

QuickSpecs HP SN6000B Fibre Channel Switch Product Highlights EGM Enhanced Group Management (EGM) is a FOS license that is included with all B-Series switches and enables multi-switch operations. It helps automate operations across multiple switches to save time and streamline repetitive operations, which are typically prone to error. EGM drives consistency across fabrics, while minimizing the risk associated with potential downtime due to configuration mismatches.

QuickSpecs HP SN6000B Fibre Channel Switch Product Highlights Adaptive Networking Adaptive Networking (AN) is an optional family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic movement within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources. Applications may be used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service.

QuickSpecs HP SN6000B Fibre Channel Switch Product Highlights ISL Trunking For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to eight E-ports to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 16Gb switch needs its own license. The switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 128Gb) when routing connections between 16Gb switches.
PAGE 8
QuickSpecs HP SN6000B Fibre Channel Switch Product Highlights Integrated Routing Integrated Routing is an optional license which provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) on a perport basis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on a dedicated routing switch or blade. Just like traditional FCR, Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports to import/export devices between fabrics, enabling selective device sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation.
