- HPE Storage Switch M-series SN4600M delivers predictable and consistent throughput regardless of the packet size being transferred, the mixture of ports which are sending data and even within mixed speed environments.
- HPE Storage Switch M-series SN4600M allows flexible port speed configurations at 1/10 GbE, 25 GbE using breakout cables to 64 ports at 40 GbE or 100 GbE allowing flexibility, efficiency, simplifying scale-out of aggregation switching layers, and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
- HPE Storage Switch M-series SN4600M provides ultra-low latency. This is helpful for flash storage, which moved latency from storage access to the network, as well as for the burst nature of today's software-defined and cloud data center traffic.
With an increasing need to access data faster and accommodate growing workloads, rising levels of east-west traffic, and new storage arrays based on flash storage technologies, a high bandwidth, low-latency, zero packet loss network becomes paramount. The HPE SN4600cM Switch, the first SN4600M family member, offers a 100GbE-based network platform capable of delivering unbelievable networking speed and agility to keep pace with the most intense workloads small to large scale enterprises can produce. With port speeds spanning from 1 Gb/s to 100 Gb/s and a switching capacity of 12.8 Tb/s from 64 ports at 100 GbE, the switch enables non-blocking throughput at wire-speed transfers-across all packet sizes. All this enables the SN4600cM to deliver a landmark 8.4Bpps processing capacity and an uncompromising ultra-low cut-through latency in a compact 2RU form factor. The SN4600cM expands the HPE M-Series Ethernet switch family to End-of-Row, Core, and Super Spine deployments and is optimized for virtualized environments, hyperconverged infrastructure, and low-latency storage deployments.
