The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C delivers 32 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) switching providing high-speed FC connectivity from the server rack to the SAN core. It empowers midsize, enterprise, and large enterprises that are rapidly deploying cloud-scale applications using extremely dense virtualized servers, providing the dual benefits of greater bandwidth and consolidation. The switch offers state-of-art analytics and telemetry capability built into its ASIC platform. For increased flexibility, the HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C scales from 8 to 32 ports. Additionally, investing in this switch for the lower-speed (8 or 16 Gbps) server rack gives you the flexibility to upgrade to 32 Gbps performance in the future.</p><h4>What's new</h4><ul><li>New subscription-based Advantage and Premier license bundles with Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) / Cisco Nexuas Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), Enterprise and SAN Analytics.</li></ul><h4>Features</h4><p>Starting NX-OS 9.2(1), DCNM is renamed as Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC).</p><p>Provides visibility into each virtual machine logged into the fabric through HBAs capable of priority tagging the Virtual Machine Identifier (VMID) on every FC frame.</p><p>On-board hardware that protects the entire system from malicious attacks by limiting access to critical components such as the bootloader, system image loader and Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface.</p><p>Lower initial investment and power consumption for entry-level configurations of up to 8 ports compared to a fully loaded 32 port switch.</p><p>Configurable with 16 Gb FC SFP+ or 32 Gb FC SFP+ optics to accommodate your budget while being fully prepared for tomorrow.</p><p>Consolidate separate physical SAN fabrics into one large fabric for ease of management and reduced total cost of ownership.</p><b>Easy Manageability</b><p>Provides powerful Representational State Transfer (REST) and NX-API capabilities to enable flexible and rapid programming of utilities for the SAN.</p><p>Cisco Data Center Network Manager (Essentials Edition) software, included with switch, provides a centralized management tool with task-based wizards. Additional advanced features are available with the DCNM / Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) licensed version, sold separately.</p><p>The VSAN technology provides a cost-effective way to consolidate resources while providing high resiliency to potential fabric disruptions.</p><b>Investment Protection</b><b>High Performance for NVMe/All-flash Arrays and Virtualized Workloads</b><p>The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C provides an option to deploy as few as eight 32 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) ports which can grow from 8 ports to 16 ports, and thereafter with a port expansion module. Expanding up to a maximum of 32 ports.</p><p>The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C provides intelligent diagnostics tools such as inter-switch link diagnostics, read diagnostic parameters, protocol decoding, network analysis tools, and others for improved reliability, faster problem resolution, and reduced service costs.</p><p>HPE C-series SAN Insights (Cisco SAN Analytics) delivers deep visibility into I/O traffic between the compute and the storage infrastructure. This information is in addition to the already-available visibility obtained from individual ports, switches, servers, virtual machines, and storage arrays.</p><p>HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C provides consistent 32 Gbps low-latency performance across every FC port on the switch.</p><p>Delivers increased performance with an aggregate bandwidth of 1024 Gbps for growing and dynamic workloads.</p><p>Delivers the same outstanding availability and reliability as previous generation HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C by providing optional redundancy on all major components such as power supplies and fans.</p><p>The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C supports slow-drain detection and isolation, VSAN technology, access control lists for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, smart zoning, and other various services.</p><b>Intelligent Network Services for Modern SAN</b><h4>Media</h4><b>Redefine HPE Storage Networking</b><p>A wide range of storage area network products and solutions that meet any customer requirements for performance, cost, scalability, manageability and investment protection.</p><h4>Compatible products</h4><ul><li>HPE Install Storage Switches SVC</li><li>HPE LC to LC Multi-mode OM3 2-Fiber 1.0m 1-Pack Fiber Optic Cable</li><li>HPE Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 Fiber 15m Cable</li><li>HPE LC to LC Multi-mode OM3 2-Fiber 5.0m 1-Pack Fiber Optic Cable</li><li>HPE LC to LC Multi-mode OM3 2-Fiber 30.0m 1-Pack Fiber Optic Cable</li><li>HPE Premier Flex MPO12/MPO12 Multi-mode OM4 50m Fiber Cable</li><li>HPE Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 Fiber 1m Cable</li><li>HPE LC to LC Multi-mode OM3 2-Fiber 15.0m 1-Pack Fiber Optic Cable</li><li>HPE Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 Fiber 5m Cable</li><li>HPE C-series 16 Gb Fibre Channel SW SFP+ Transceiver</li><li>HPE C-series 32 Gb Fibre Channel Short Wave SFP+ Transceiver</li><li>HPE LC to LC Multi-mode OM3 2-Fiber 0.5m 1-Pack Fiber Optic Cable</li><li>HPE Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 Fiber 50m Cable</li><li>HPE LC to LC Multi-mode OM3 2-Fiber 50.0m 1-Pack Fiber Optic Cable</li><li>HPE Premier Flex MPO12/MPO12 Multi-mode OM4 10m Fiber Cable</li><li>HPE Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 Fiber 2m Cable</li><li>HPE Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 Fiber 30m Cable</li><li>HPE MDS 9000 8Gb FC SFP+ Short Range Transceiver</li><li>HPE LC to LC Multi-mode OM3 2-Fiber 2.0m 1-Pack Fiber Optic Cable</li></ul><h4>Documents</h4><ul><li>HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for Synergy – Flat SAN technical reference</li><li>West London College basis future growth on HPE technology</li><li>HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6610C QuickSpecs</li></ul>
