The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C (MDS 9148T) is the next generation 48-port 32Gbps Fibre Channel Switch providing high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity from the server rack to the SAN core. It empowers small, midsize, and large enterprises that are rapidly deploying cloud-scale applications providing the benefits of greater bandwidth, scale, and consolidation. The switch allows seamless transition to Fibre Channel Non-Volatile Memory Express (FC-NVMe) workloads whenever available without any hardware upgrade in the SAN. For flexibility, the HPE SN6620C Fibre Channel Switch scales from 24-48 ports. Additionally, investing in this switch for the lower-speed (8 or 16 Gbps) server rack gives you the flexibility to upgrade to 32 Gbps performance in the future.
The SN6620C can be provisioned, managed, monitored, and troubleshot using Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), which currently manages the entire suite of Cisco data center products. Powered by C-series MDS 9000 NX-OS Software, it includes storage networking features and functions and is compatible with C-series SN8500C/SN8700C (MDS 9700) Series Multilayer Directors, C-series SN6610C (MDS 9132T) Multilayer Fabric Switches, C-series SN6010C (MDS 9148S) Multilayer Fabric Switches, C-series SN6630C (MDS 9396T) Multilayer Fabric Switches, C-series SN6710C (MDS 9124V) Multilayer Fabric Switches, C-series SN6720C (MDS 9148V) Multilayer Fabric Switches, and C-series SN6640C (MDS 9220i) Multi-service Fabric Switches, providing transparent, end-to-end service delivery in core-edge deployments.

Industry leading 32-Gb Performance Capability The switch offers full non-blocking 32-Gbps Fibre Channel performance on 48 line-rate ports and an aggregate bandwidth of 1536 Gbps in each direction in a 1 Rack unit form factor. |
Scalability The HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch C-series SN6620C provides an option to deploy as few as twenty-four 32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports in the entry-level variant, which can grow in increments of 8 ports to 48 ports. |
Cost Effective Intelligent Storage networking The SN6620C switch comes standard in a compact, extremely cost-effective design that simplifies deployment and administration of small and medium-scale storage-area networks (SANs) and as an edge switch in a larger enterprise. Please note that some services listed require the optional SN6000C Enterprise Package License, HPE C-series SN6000C Advantage License, or HPE C-series SN6610C/SN6620C Premier License.. |
N-Port ID Virtualization NPIV) N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), a standard Fibre Channel protocol feature, individual virtual machines assume a full identity on the SAN so that Fibre Channel services such as zoning, Quality of Service (QoS), performance monitoring, and security can be provided to each virtual machine. |
VSANs VSAN, an industry standard for fabric virtualization capabilities, enables more efficient storage network use by creating hardware-based isolated environments within a single physical SAN fabric or switch. Up to 32 VSANs are supported per switch. Each VSAN can be zoned as a typical SAN and maintains its own fabric services and management domains for added scalability and resilience. VSANs allow the cost of SAN infrastructure to be shared among more users, while helping ensure segregation of traffic and retaining independent control of configuration on a VSAN-by-VSAN basis. |
PortChannels PortChannels allow users to aggregate up to 16 physical ISLs into a single logical bundle, providing optimized bandwidth use across all links. The bundle can consist of any port from the switch, helping ensure that the bundle remains active even in the event of a port failure. |
FlexAttach The FlexAttach feature gives SN6620C switch customers the flexibility to add, move, or replace servers easily without the need to reconfigure SAN switches or storage arrays. It provides this flexibility by virtualizing the SAN identity of a server, which enables a server to retain its SAN identity even if the server is moved or replaced. |
Quality of Service (QoS) The Quality of Service (QoS) feature allows traffic to be classified into four distinct levels for service differentiation. QoS can be applied to help ensure that Fibre Channel data traffic for latency-sensitive applications receives higher priority over throughput-intensive applications such as data warehousing. |
F-port trunking and channeling The F-port trunking feature enables multiple VSANs to be transported on the uplink from a SN6620C switch operating in NPV mode to the core switch. This feature will allow the consolidation of uplinks ports necessary for extending VSAN connectivity to the NP device. The F-port channeling feature enables up to 16 physical uplinks between a SN6620C switch operating in NPV mode and the core switch to be bundled into a PortChannel. Advanced traffic management features, such as fabricwide quality of service (QoS) and Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR), among others, are included with the optional HPE SN6000C Enterprise Package License, HPE C-series SN6000C Advantage License, and HPE C-series SN6610C/SN6620C Premier License.. |
IVR (MDS 9000 NX-OS Software Release 8.3(1) or later) VSANs and Inter-VSAN routing (IVR) enable deployment of large-scale multisite and heterogeneous SAN topologies. Integrated VSANs in port-level hardware allow any port in a system or in a fabric to be partitioned into any VSAN. Integrated IVR provides line-rate routing between any of the ports in a system or in a fabric without the need for external routing appliances. |
High Availability The SN6620C switch is designed for environments in which downtime is unacceptable. It offers:
|
Simplified Storage Management Single-pane management The SN6620C can be provisioned, managed, monitored, and troubleshot using Cisco Data Center Network Manager, which currently manages the entire suite of Cisco data center products. |

HPE SN6000C Enterprise Package E-LTU The HPE C-series MDS switches have a set of advanced traffic engineering and advanced security features that are recommended for all Enterprise SANs. These features are bundled together in a management application called the HPE SN6000C Enterprise Package. Please refer to the Cisco MDS Enterprise Package Data Sheet for more information: HPE C-series SAN Insights (Cisco SAN Analytics) Cisco SAN Analytics solution offers end-to-end visibility into Fibre Channel block storage traffic. The solution is natively available on the storage area network due to its integrated-by-design architecture with the HPE SN6620C 32Gb FC Switch. Cisco SAN Analytics delivers deep visibility into I/O traffic between the compute and the storage infrastructure. This information is in addition to the already-available visibility obtained from individual ports, switches, servers, virtual machines, and storage arrays that are integrated with Cisco Data Center Network Manager. Cisco SAN Analytics, once enabled via the feature analytics CLI command, provides a 120-day trial license. To continue the use of these features after the trial period ends, customers must purchase the HPE SN6600C SAN Insights 1-year/3-year/5-year term E-LTU (switch-based-license) for on-board Analytics, Streaming Telemetry and SAN Insights on Data Center Network Manager and other telemetry receivers.
