Marketing description

The HPE StoreFabric SN6010C Switch is a high-performance, flexible, cost-effective platform providing high-density, 16 Gb/s ports for storage networking deployments in small, medium-sized, and large enterprise environments. The SN6010C offers outstanding value by providing high-availability, security, and ease of use in a compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor.
With the flexibility to expand from 12 to 48 ports in 12-port increments, the SN6010C offers the densities required to scale from an entry-level departmental switch to top-of-the-rack switch to edge connectivity in enterprise SANs. The SN6010C delivers a non-blocking architecture, with all 48 4/8/16-Gb/s ports operating at line rate concurrently. And with dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays, the SN6010C offers high availability scalable to mission-critical deployments.

Key selling points
