HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6010C
HPE SN6010C Fibre Channel Switch
The HPE SN6010C is a high-performance 1U Fibre Channel switch designed for scalable and reliable…
Enterprise SAN Power, Compact Design
The HPE SN6010C Fibre Channel Switch delivers enterprise-class storage networking in a space-efficient 1U form factor. Designed for flexibility and growth, it supports up to 48 autosensing ports at speeds of 2, 4, 8, and 16Gbps, with non-blocking throughput reaching 768 Gbps. This switch offers on-demand scalability with 12-port license-based expansions and includes redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans for continuous uptime. Advanced features such as virtual SANs (VSANs), QoS, hardware zoning, NPIV, and NPV provide exceptional control and performance in virtualized and all-flash environments. With secure AES 256-bit encryption and centralized management through CLI or Cisco NDFC, the SN6010C combines reliability, scalability, and simplicity—making it ideal for departmental, edge, or top-of-rack deployments in modern data centers.
Features
Compact, Efficient Design for Modern Data CentersHoused in a 1U rack-mount form factor, it saves valuable rack space while delivering enterprise-grade performance. With support for 8Gb and 16Gb transceivers, it’s a future-ready, power-efficient switch that fits easily into core, edge, or departmental deployments. | Simplified Centralized ManagementEasily managed through CLI or GUI using Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), now Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC). Centralized, task-based wizards and intelligent tools streamline multi-switch and fabric management. | Comprehensive Storage Networking ServicesSupports advanced features like Virtual SANs, QoS, hardware zoning, and port channels without additional cost. NPV and NPIV technologies enable better VM management and scale-out capabilities without hitting Fibre Channel domain ID limits. |
Enterprise-Grade Availability and RedundancyDesigned for mission-critical environments, it features dual hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays, non-disruptive software upgrades (ISSU), and high-resiliency capabilities like VSANs and F-port trunking. Maximum uptime with zero compromise. | Exceptional Performance for Demanding WorkloadsWith 16Gbps dedicated bandwidth per port and an aggregate of 768Gbps, the SN6010C handles high-throughput environments with ease. Ideal for NVMe, all-flash arrays, and virtualized data centers, it ensures consistent low-latency performance. | High-Density, Scalable ArchitectureStart with 12 ports and scale up to 48 ports in 12-port increments. This “pay-as-you-grow” model makes it perfect for small departments to large enterprises. Autosensing ports support 2/4/8/16Gbps speeds, offering flexibility for evolving SAN environments. |
