HP BR-6505-12 SN3000B 12/24 12 x SFP+ Active Ports 16GB/s 1U FC Switch

Description

The HP BR-6505-12, part of the SN3000B series, is a 1U rackmount Fibre Channel switch designed to provide high-performance and reliable connectivity for Storage Area Networks (SANs). This switch is equipped with 12 active 16Gb/s Fibre Channel SFP+ ports, enabling high-speed communication between servers and storage devices. The 16Gb/s speed ensures low latency and high throughput, which are critical for demanding storage applications and virtualized environments. The SN3000B platform is known for its scalability and flexibility. While this specific model lists 12 active ports, the platform often supports configurations up to 24 ports, typically enabled through software licenses. This allows organizations to start with their current needs and expand as their storage requirements grow, providing a cost-effective and adaptable SAN solution. Designed for enterprise deployments, the BR-6505-12 offers robust features for SAN management, including advanced diagnostics, fabric management tools, and security capabilities. Its 1U form factor makes it suitable for dense rack environments, and the hot-pluggable nature of the SFPs simplifies maintenance and upgrades. This switch is a key component for building efficient and resilient storage infrastructures.
