R0P13A Use Case
Accelerating Virtualized Data Centers with HPE StoreFabric SN6620C 32Gb Switch
Scenario: A global enterprise consolidates hundreds of VMware vSphere hosts on HPE 3PAR storage and needs predictable, low-latency I/O. Implementation: Deploy the HPE StoreFabric SN6620C 32Gb 24-port SFP+ Fibre Channel Switch to connect ESXi clusters with back-end arrays. Outcome: Achieve sub-millisecond latency, boost IOPS by 40%, and accelerate VM provisioning—ensuring consistent performance for mixed production workloads.
Zero-Data-Loss Disaster Recovery Fabric Using HPE StoreFabric SN6620C 32Gb Switch
Scenario: A financial services firm must replicate critical transaction data synchronously between primary and secondary data centers to meet zero-RPO mandates. Implementation: Install HPE StoreFabric SN6620C 32Gb 24-port Fibre Channel switches at both sites to create a dedicated replication SAN for HPE Nimble and 3PAR arrays. Outcome: Maintain continuous data integrity, cut RTO by 50%, and streamline DR failover with carrier-grade reliability.
Secure Multi-Tenant SAN Zoning with HPE StoreFabric SN6620C 32Gb Switch
Scenario: A managed service provider delivers shared SAN storage to multiple customers under strict SLA and compliance requirements. Implementation: Leverage the HPE StoreFabric SN6620C 32Gb 24-port SFP+ switch’s VSAN zoning and QoS features to isolate tenant fabrics and enforce bandwidth guarantees. Outcome: Ensure complete data segregation, guarantee predictable performance per tenant, and simplify fabric management at scale.
