HPE R0P79A StoreFabric SN2700M 32-Port 100GbE Switch
Overview
The HPE R0P79A StoreFabric SN2700M is a high-density, top-of-rack Ethernet switch designed for the demanding requirements of modern server and storage networks. This Layer 3 switch provides an optimal platform for data centers needing to support high-performance computing, flash storage, and hyperconverged infrastructure. It solves the critical need for a high-bandwidth, low-latency fabric that can handle intense east-west traffic patterns without bottlenecks. Engineered for performance, the switch delivers a landmark 6.4 Tbps of non-blocking throughput. Its cut-through architecture ensures an ultra-low latency of 300ns, a crucial benefit for latency-sensitive applications like financial trading platforms and real-time data analytics. This predictable performance ensures that data is moved to the fastest media automatically, maximizing the ROI on flash storage investments. The compact 1U form factor is ideal for top-of-rack deployments in enterprise data centers. The unit features a front-to-back (connector-to-power) airflow design, essential for efficient cooling in standard rack configurations. It ships with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), providing the flexibility to deploy a choice of network operating systems. Reliability is built-in with dual redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and four N+1 redundant, hot-swappable fans.
