Description

The SN6620C is a 1U 32 Gbps Fibre Channel SAN switch from the HPE C-series family, built for connecting servers to all-flash storage arrays. It suits dedicated standalone FC SANs, server-rack-to-SAN-core connectivity and FC-NVMe workloads, and can help consolidate separate SAN fabrics in small, midsize and large enterprises.

This 48/24-port model ships with 24 ports enabled and grows to 48 ports through 8-port upgrade licences. Every port runs at 32 Gbps with aggregate bandwidth of up to 1536 Gbps, and it also works with 16 and 8 Gbps optics. AES 128-bit encryption is supported, and the dual power supply configuration provides redundancy alongside optional redundant fans.

It runs NX-OS 8.3(1) or later, with Cisco DCNM Essentials Edition management software included. Optional licences cover the SN6000C Enterprise Package, the DCNM licence, the 8-port upgrade licence and SAN Insights for I/O visibility.
