The HP SN6000 Stackable 8Gb Fibre Channel switch simplifies SAN deployment in SMB to Enterprise environments with an affordable and easy to manage SAN solution, while delivering scaling efficiency that keeps up with fibre channel port growth as the network expands. Built with low-cost, high-performance scalability in mind, each SN6000 features up to 20 FC device ports enabled supporting 8/4/2 Gbps speeds, plus 4 dedicated high-speed 10/20 Gbps stacking ports for linking/stacking SN6000 switches. Heterogeneous fabric connection is simplified too with Transparent Router (TR) functionality, standard in H-series switches (SN6000 and 8/20q), by providing seamless, non-disruptive interoperability and access to servers and storage on HP B-series and HP C-series SANs. The economical H-series SAN solution includes SAN Connection Manager (SCM) software for complete end-to-end fabric management. With SSCM software it's easy to provision storage as well as manage HBAs and switches from a single screen that offers a comprehensive topology view of the SAN. SCM software simplicity does not end with H-series switches. The software integrates with HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM) environments by providing an end-to-end integrated solution to manage HP Bladesystem c-class via, HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM), and P2000 MSA storage array/EVA storage with SN6000 switches via one management interface.

No other 8Gb FC switch, available in the industry, offers the scaling efficiencies as the SN6000 stackable fibre channel switch. IT Storage growth is escalating, while demand for more SAN access is increasing. Adding more usable FC ports in the data center is full of challenges, but with the SN6000 switch it's as simple as stacking SN6000 switches. Begin with 20 device ports for an affordable solution and add new stacking switches and save more money for up to 120 usable device ports per stack (single manageable unit), or >500 ports in multi-stack topologies. To achieve higher performance 10 Gbps stacking ports may be upgraded to 20 Gbps speed at any time, non-disruptively, extending the solution lifespan while preserving current investments. Best of all no matter how large a stacking SAN becomes; it's managed as one logical end-to-end fabric with plenty of availability features to prevent downtime.
