HPE StoreFabric SN2100M 100GbE 16QSFP28 Half Width Switch

• Superior performance with future proof growth
• Optimized for storage and hyper converged environments
• Unleashes flash storage performance

Additional Features:

• The HPE StoreFabric SN2100M switches provide predictability within a storage network and consistent throughput regardless of the packet size being transferred, the mixture of ports which are sending data and even within mixed speed environments. Provides wire-rate performance with zero packet loss across all frame sizes, avoiding any negative impact on applications that could occur with frame loss as unexpected packet loss is unacceptable in modern data centers, especially within a storage network. Capable of forwarding 100% capacity wire rate performance with zero packet loss across all ports concurrently at 100GbE speeds while transferring data across both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. Can be deployed to support 10GbE ports and is designed to be able to evolve over time to support 25, 50, and 100GbE speeds. This helps future proof your network architecture and allows for implementing significant speed changes to the architecture over time.
• The HPE StoreFabric SN2100M switches provide high port density in a single rack unit, allowing for higher capacity and efficiency, simplifying scale-out environments and saving on total cost of ownership. Unique break-out cables fan out individual switch ports to multiple device ports. With unique form factors and port counts, these Ethernet switches allow for two HPE SN2100 units to be deployed side-by-side allowing for increased density, making it the ideal top-of-rack switch. Designed to use less electric power than competing switches, with less than 150 W per port providing one of the industry's lowest power draws, producing less heat than competing products allowing reduced OpEx cost.
• The HPE StoreFabric SN2100M switches provide ultra-low latency of under 300ns port-to-port. This is advantageous for flash storage which moved latency form storage access to the network, as well as for the burst nature of today's software defined and cloud data centers traffic. Provides enough internal bandwidth that there is sufficient capacity to carry all ports at 100 Gb/s bandwidths concurrently. This allows the switches to avoid head-of-line blocking which can reduce overall performance and throughput.
