HP Q6M28A SN2410BM 48x Ports 10GBase-T + 8x SFP+ Ports L3 1U GE Switch

Product Description

The HP Q6M28A, identified by its SN2410BM model number, is a high-density, high-performance 1U rack-mountable switch designed for modern data center networks. It boasts 48 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) over RJ-45 connectors (10GBASE-T), providing extensive connectivity for servers and other end devices requiring high-speed access. Complementing the copper ports are eight SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) slots, which offer flexible uplink options for connecting to aggregation layers, core switches, or storage networks at speeds of 10GbE or, in some configurations, 1GbE. As a Layer 3 switch, the SN2410BM is capable of performing advanced routing functions, enabling it to build sophisticated and scalable network architectures. It supports a comprehensive set of routing protocols, making it suitable for complex network designs and inter-VLAN routing. The switch is engineered for high-performance packet forwarding, ensuring low latency and high throughput, which are critical for demanding data center applications such as virtualization, cloud computing, and big data analytics. Its design prioritizes efficient traffic management and data flow. This switch is particularly well-suited for Top-of-Rack (ToR) deployments, where it sits at the top of a server rack and provides high-density 10GbE connectivity to the servers within that rack, with high-speed uplinks to the rest of the network. It also supports advanced data center technologies like VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) and EVPN (Ethernet VPN), which are essential for building scalable, flexible, and automated network fabrics in virtualized and cloud environments. The combination of dense 10GbE ports, SFP+ uplinks, and Layer 3 capabilities makes the Q6M28A a versatile and powerful networking solution for enterprise data centers.
