16 Gb FC storage networking

Enables support of virtualized environments and other emerging technologies through high-speed technology that doubles the performance of the storage network. External facing ports auto-sense lower bandwidth components for flexibility and investment protection with existing FC ports (4, 8, or 16Gb/s FC for external ports) as well as to the future FC products (32Gb and 64Gb).


Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP)

Up to four 4x16Gb/s QSFPs are supported, which can be used as additional 16 Gb/s FC ports, 64 Gb/s high speed FC ISL ports between switch modules, or as part of a 128Gb/s trunk port to a B-series Director.  



 

Non-blocking architecture

Includes connection speed support for all ports to provide a high-performance system with aggregate bandwidth of 576 Gb/s (36 ports x 16 Gb/s). This capability is supported in Native OS mode, which is the default, and not access gateway mode.


ISL Trunking performance enhancements

Support for multiple trunks, with the maximum trunk size of up to eight SAN ports for up to 128 Gb/s balanced throughput per each trunk group. Trunking of the SAN-facing ports with external Brocade or HPE B-series switches provides a high-bandwidth solution while lowering costs through fewer SFPs and cables. You can trunk up to 8 external FC SFP+ ports or up to two QSFP ports.  For maximum flexibility any number of consequent ports within adjacent QSFP ports can form a trunk. 


Fabric Vision

Enables powerful built-in monitoring SAN management, and diagnostic tools to simplify administration, increase uptime and reduce costs. This results in significant insight and visibility across SANs with extensive analytics to keep your SAN optimized for best results.  Available by default in the Power Pack+ model or as an upgrade option.


Access Gateway mode

Employs N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), an ANSI T11 standard, to enable interoperability with other SAN fabrics and eliminate domain considerations while improving SAN scalability.


Broad range of management tools and SMI-s conformance

Integrates with HPE OneView for monitoring and leverages HPE B-series SAN management and monitoring tools (PowerPack+, Fabric Vision). An SMI-s API enables the use of industry standard interfaces to integrate management with other applications.


Switch Configuration-available in three base models

Interoperability

Brocade Access Gateway mode enables the Brocade 16Gb Fibre Channel SAN Switch Module for HPE Synergy to interoperate with other SAN fabrics running supported firmware. While in Access Gateway mode, the device must be connected to an NPIV-enabled edge switch or director. Supported edge environments are listed in the SAN Design Guide http://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=c00403562


Software Components, Standard

Access Gateway*

Brocade Access Gateway Mode enables seamless connectivity for the Brocade 16Gb Fibre Channel SAN Switch Module for HPE Synergy to other supported SAN fabrics, enhances scalability and simplifies manageability. Utilizing N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) standards, Brocade Access Gateway eliminates switch/domain considerations.

Notes:*Brocade Access Gateway mode does not support switch-related features, including some features in the Power Pack+ bundle (e.g. Extended Fabric). Please refer to the Access Gateway Administrator's Guide for details.

Frame Filtering

A special B-Series ASIC-based capability that enables new applications and features. The switch has the ability to "view" the first 64-bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced capabilities such as Advanced Zoning and Fabric Vision (optional).

Advanced Zoning

Zoning (Port and Worldwide Name), as well as Access Control, are enforced by hardware within the ASIC. Hardware enforcement enables the highest level of zoning enforcement without any impact to performance. Administrators can organize a physical fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.

Web Tools

Enables organizations to monitor and manage single Fibre Channel switches and monitor small SAN fabrics. Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location within the enterprise.

Dynamic Path Selection

Improves performance by dynamically routing data traffic across multiple links and trunk groups.


 

Adaptive Networking Services

Adaptive Networking services optimize fabric behavior and ensure ample bandwidth for mission-critical applications. The tools currently include Quality of Service (QoS), Ingress Rate Limiting and Traffic Isolation. By assigning zones a high, medium, or low priority, QoS allocates bandwidth in the event of congestion to expedite high-priority traffic and keep all traffic flowing. Ingress Rate Limiting restricts data flow from less-critical hosts at preset bandwidths. Traffic Isolation assigns high-bandwidth data flows to specific ISLs.

Notes: Adaptive Networking Services are included by default in the switch firmware and do not require a separate license.


Software Components, Optional

Power Pack+ Software Bundle

The Power Pack+ Software Bundle includes:

  • Fabric Vision
  • ISL Trunking
  • Extended Fabrics*

Notes:

- *Not supported in Access Gateway mode (see the Access Gateway Administrator´s guide for full details).

- Adaptive Networking and Server Application Optimization features are included by default in the switch firmware and do not require a separate license

Fabric Vision

Fabric Vision offers innovative diagnostic, monitoring and management capabilities to help accelerate new application deployments, address SAN problems before they impact operations and reduce operational costs, it Includes:

  • Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite: A policy-based monitoring tool with pre-built rules and automation that simplifies fabric-wide threshold configuration and monitoring.
  • Flow Vision: A comprehensive tool that enables administrators to identify, monitor, and analyze specific application data flows without using taps to ensure optimized performance.
  • Health and performance dashboard: A single customizable screen displayed in HPE SANnav Management Portal that contains all critical SAN information for convenient review and analysis.

Fabric Vision will be included by default in all HPE StoreFabric B-series Fibre Channel switches and Directors bundled with Power Pack+.

ISL Trunking

For high performance and seamless failover, this optional license logically groups up to eight E_ports (switch mode) or F_ports (Access Gateway mode) to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two HPE B-Series or Brocade switches. Each switch needs its own license.  The fabric operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth ISL resource (up to 128 Gb/s when routing connections between 16 Gb/s capable switches). Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group.

Extended Fabrics

Extends the native Fibre-Channel traffic up to 3857 km at 4 Gb or up to 964 km at 16Gb. Extended Fabrics increases the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard.


 

HPE SANnav Management Software

HPE SANnav Management Software is the next-generation SAN management application suite for HPE B-series SAN environments. It consists of SANnav Management Portal Software and SANnav Global View Software:

  • SANnav Management Portal is a next-generation SAN management application with a simple browser-based user interface (UI) streamlining common workflows, such as configuration, zoning, deployment, troubleshooting, and reporting.
  • SANnav Global View helps administrators visualize the health, performance and inventory of multiple SANnav Management Portal instances at data centers across the globe or a single multi-tenant data center using a simple, intelligent dashboard.
