HPE SN3000B 16Gb Fibre Channel Switch

The HPE SN3000B is a 16Gb Fibre Channel switch built for storage-area networks that require reliable block-level connectivity. It scales from 12 to 24 active ports so organisations can match port count to workload growth without over-provisioning. The switch targets IT teams running highly virtualised environments who need consistent throughput for consolidated workloads. Its 1U form factor fits standard racks while delivering enterprise-class SAN switching.

24-port active configuration and speed flexibility

Each of the 24 ports supports 4, 8 or 16 Gb/s speeds, allowing mixed-generation devices to coexist on the same fabric. The active port design means every SFP+ slot is populated and ready for immediate use, reducing cabling complexity during deployment. This density suits data centres that want maximum port count in a single rack unit without adding chassis. Buyers who need more than 24 ports or a different protocol will need a separate platform.
