HPE C8R45B - HPE SN6500B 16Gb 96/48 Fibre Channel Switch (48 Active Ports)
The HPE C8R45B StoreFabric SN6500B 16Gb Fibre Channel Switch is a high-density enterprise SAN switch designed for scalable, high-performance connectivity between servers and storage systems. Built on the HPE B-Series Fibre Channel platform, the SN6500B is suitable for data centers requiring reliable and low-latency storage networking.
This configuration provides a 96-port Fibre Channel architecture with 48 ports activated, giving organizations substantial initial SAN connectivity while providing a path for additional port activation through supported licensing. It supports 16Gb Fibre Channel connectivity for compatible servers, host bus adapters, storage arrays, and other SAN infrastructure.
With its high port density, the HPE SN6500B is well suited for virtualization, databases, backup environments, private cloud infrastructure, storage consolidation, and other business-critical workloads. The 48-port active configuration provides flexibility for organizations that require enterprise-class SAN switching with room for future expansion.
The HPE C8R45B is suitable for SAN expansion, infrastructure upgrades, storage consolidation, and replacement within compatible HPE B-Series Fibre Channel environments. Installed SFP transceivers, licensing, firmware, power supplies, airflow configuration, and other configuration-dependent components should be verified for the individual switch before deployment.
