HPER0P71A

StoreFabric SN2700M 32-QSFP28,100 GbE Switch

The HPER0P71A SN2700M is a high-density, top-of-rack 1U Switchoffering 32 QSFP28 ports, each supportingup to 100 GbE native or breakout speeds. Built for modern data centers, hyperconverged infrastructure, and NVMe-over-Ethernet storage fabrics, the SN2700M delivers 6.4 Tb/s non-blocking Switchcapacity and wire-speed forwarding at 9.52 Bpps with sub-microsecond latency (~300 ns). With flexible airflow (power-to-connector), dual redundant hot-swappable PSUs and fans, plus TAA compliance for government use, it's engineered for reliability, low power (~150 W typical), and energy efficiency. Ideal as a spine or leaf Switchin performance-sensitive east-west networks.

Features

This SN2700M SKU (R0P71A) features 32 fixed QSFP28 ports capable of operating at 100 GbE or breaking out into 2×50 GbE, 4×25 GbE, or 4×10 GbE using breakout cables. It also supports mixed-speed use cases - supporting 1/10/25/40/50/100 GbE seamlessly across ports. The non-blocking fabric and cut-through architecture ensure zero packet loss and minimal latency, even under full-line-rate traffic loads. Power consumption is low at roughly 150 W, making it one of the industry's most efficient 100 GbE Switch. Hot-swap fans and dual internal PSUs provide redundancy and support data centers that run hot/cold aisle airflow layouts.Management is via Mellanox/Onyx or ONIE-based environments, supporting both CLI and WebUI, and interfaces such as dual management RJ45 ports, a console port, and USB. It offers modern telemetry capabilities like sFlow, root-cause analysis ("What Just Happened"), port-level queue monitoring, and BER degradation tracking. Protocol support includes DCBX, PFC, ECN, VXLAN, MLAG, OSPF, VRRP, BFD, IGMP snooping, LLDP, STP/RSTP/MSTP, and OpenFlow.

Advanced Options

The compact 1RU footprint (43.9 mm H × 427.8 mm W × 686 mm D) and ~11.1 kg weight make it suitable for high-density rack deployment. Supplied with a rack mount kit and serial cable, it's optimized for environments needing high-performance fabrics in limited space.Built for ultra-demanding network environments, the SN2700M ensures wire-speed, non-blocking performance across all ports and packet sizes without drop-offs. Its cut-through Switchdelivers ultra-low latency (~300 ns), critical for NVMe storage fabrics, real-time analytics, and high-frequency workloads. The efficient hardware design reduces power and thermal overhead, drawing only ~150 W under typical load while maintaining high port density.

Reliability & Performance

High availability is standard×dual internal power supplies and quad hot-swappable fans (n+1 redundancy) ensure continuous operation. The airflow design aligns with traditional rack cooling layouts. Monitoring tools like sFlow, telemetry, and queue histograms enhance visibility and proactive maintenance. MLAG, VXLAN, OSPF, BFD, VRRP, and other protocols enable architecture flexibility with simplified deployment and resiliency.This Switchsupports automation tools (Ansible, Puppet, SaltStack, ZTP), and offers full programmability via telemetry APIs. Combined with TAA-compliance and Mellanox/Onyx or ONIE/Smart Fabric Orchestrator support, it's ideal for US government, enterprise, and service provider networks.
