HP E7Y73A SN4000B 24x 16Gb FC 16x 1/10GbE 2x Port 40GbE Switch

Product Description

The HP E7Y73A SN4000B is a high-density, converged network switch designed to simplify and accelerate data center infrastructure. It uniquely combines 16Gb Fibre Channel ports for Storage Area Network (SAN) connectivity with 1Gb/10Gb and 40Gb Ethernet ports for Local Area Network (LAN) traffic. This convergence allows organizations to consolidate their network infrastructure, reducing complexity, cabling, and power consumption. With 24 dedicated 16Gb Fibre Channel ports, the SN4000B provides ample high-speed connectivity for storage devices, enabling robust and low-latency access to storage resources. Complementing this are 16 ports that support both 1Gb and 10Gb Ethernet speeds, suitable for server connectivity and general network traffic, along with two high-speed 40Gb Ethernet ports for uplinks or demanding server connections. This switch is an ideal solution for enterprise data centers seeking to streamline operations and enhance performance. Its ability to handle both storage and server traffic on a single platform simplifies management and reduces the need for separate SAN and LAN switches. The SN4000B offers a scalable and efficient approach to modern data center networking, supporting demanding applications and virtualization environments.
