Overview
HP StoreFabric SN6500B Fibre Channel Switch
To remain competitive, IT organizations must keep pace with ever-increasing workloads without a similar increase in their budgets
or resources. While virtualization has provided some relief by enabling the benefits of faster deployment and consolidation, it also
tends to put additional stress on data center networks. In addition, the move toward cloud computing, which promises greater
efficiency and a more service-oriented business model, means that these networks will face even greater demands.
The HP StoreFabric SN6500B Fibre Channel Switch meets the demands of hyper-scale, private cloud storage environments by
delivering market-leading 16 Gb Fibre Channel technology and capabilities that support highly virtualized environments. Designed
to enable maximum flexibility and investment protection, the SN6500B Switch is configurable in 48, 72 or 96 ports and supports 4,
8 or 16 Gbps speeds in an efficiently designed 2U package. It also provides a simplified deployment process and a point-and-click
user interface-making it both powerful and easy to use. The SN6500B Switch is ideal for medium- to large-sized organizations
that need a scalable, high-availability solution that will facilitate consolidation and the flexibility to meet rapidly evolving storage
requirements
The SN6500B is available in five models:
HP StoreFabric SN6500B 16Gb 96-port/96-port Active Power Pack+ Fibre Channel Switch
HP StoreFabric SN6500B 16Gb 96-port/96-port Active Fibre Channel Switch

HP StoreFabric SN6500B 16Gb 96-port/48-port Active Fibre Channel Switch
HP StoreFabric SN6500B 16Gb 96-port/48-port Active Port Side Air Intake Fibre Channel Switch
Power Pack+ includes additional software: Fabric Vision, Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, Extended Fabric, and Advanced Performance
Monitoring. Power Pack+ software provides the SAN administrator with the necessary tools to monitor the health and
performance of the network, while also ensuring the highest levels of security, scalability and manageability.

Integrated Routing Integrated Routing is an optional license which provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) on a per- port basis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on a dedicated routing switch or blade. Just like traditional FCR, Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports to import/export devices between fabrics, enabling selective device sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation.
