HPE R3B05A

SN2745M 100GbE 32-Port Airflow Ethernet Switch

The HPE R3B05A SN2745M 100GbE 32-Port Airflow Ethernet Switch is a high-performance, top-of-rack (ToR) switch engineered for modern,high-scale data centers and enterprise networking cores. Equipped with 32 QSFP28 ports supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet, it delivers non-blocking throughput and ultra-low latency for the most demanding workloads. Its front-to-back (airflow) cooling design is optimized for hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center deployments, ensuring efficient thermal management in dense environments. Designed for agility, scalability, and speed, this switch supports advanced Layer 2/3 features and is ideal for cloud, virtualization, and storage fabrics.

Features

Built on a robust architecture, the HPE SN2745M switch offers up to 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity and 4.77 billion packets per second (Bpps) throughput, enabling it to handle massive east-west traffic flows in modern scale-out data centers. With support for industry standards and open networking features, it enables seamless integration into multi-vendor environments. Each QSFP28 port can be configured as 100GbE, 40GbE, or broken out into 4x25GbE or 4x10GbE, offering flexible deployment options. Enhanced telemetry, extensive QoS features, and automation support via REST APIs make it suitable for environments requiring high availability, deep visibility, and programmability.

Advanced Options

The HPE SN2745M R3B05A switch is purpose-built for environments where high bandwidth, low latency, and non-stop reliability are mission-critical. Its hardened, compact 1U design is thermally efficient, with front-to-back airflow ensuring optimal cooling even in high-density racks. With support for BGP, OSPF, and EVPN-VXLAN,
