The HPE SN3000B (QW937A) is an excellent Fibre Channel switch due to its high performance, scalability, and reliability, making it a superb choice for demanding SAN environments. Its high performance is evident in its 16Gbps Fibre Channel ports and 384 Gbps aggregate bandwidth, which support rapid data transfer between servers and storage, leading to improved application response times and efficient handling of large datasets in virtualized or data-intensive workloads. This capability is critical for maintaining high I/O operations per second (IOPS) and low latency in a SAN. Its scalability is provided by its 'Ports on Demand' licensing, allowing you to start with 12 active ports and easily upgrade to 24 ports as your storage needs grow, offering investment protection and flexibility without requiring a forklift upgrade. Finally, its reliability is reinforced by optional hot-swappable redundant power supplies and its robust design, ensuring continuous operation and minimizing downtime in mission-critical storage infrastructures. These collective capabilities make it an ideal device for creating a highly efficient, responsive, and resilient storage network.
The HPE SN3000B is perfect for:
- Small to Medium-Sized SANs: It provides high-performance Fibre Channel connectivity for connecting servers to shared storage in environments where a dedicated SAN is beneficial.
- Cost-Effective 16Gb Fibre Channel Adoption: It allows organizations to leverage the speed of 16Gb Fibre Channel at an entry-level price point, supporting demanding applications and virtualized environments.
- Consolidation of Storage Resources: By enabling multiple servers to access shared storage, it helps consolidate storage infrastructure, improving efficiency and utilization.
- Virtualized Server Environments: High-speed Fibre Channel is crucial for virtualized environments to ensure low latency and high throughput for virtual machines accessing shared storage.
- Extending Existing SANs: It can be integrated into existing Fibre Channel SANs to add more ports or upgrade to faster speeds.

Attention!
When you receive the product from the courier, please check the condition of the packaging.
In case of damage, ask the courier to prepare a report. The report is necessary for product complaints.
Complaints about products damaged during transport and without a report prepared by the courier will not be considered.
All electrical and electronic equipment, particularly IT and computing devices, must be disposed of correctly as governed by the EU WEEE Directive. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the product indicates that it must not be discarded with regular household waste. By following these regulations, we all contribute to protecting our shared environment. Separate collection is mandatory because IT equipment often contains hazardous materials (such as lead and mercury) that can contaminate the environment, and it allows for the recovery of valuable and finite resources (such as gold and copper) through specialized recycling. The end-user is legally responsible for ensuring that this waste is delivered to a designated municipal collection point, an authorized recycler, or a qualified retailer for professional and environmentally sound processing.
Please check with your local authority or municipal waste provider for authorized legal disposal points in your area.
