Description

The HPE Q2R34A (StoreFabric SN3000B series) is an 8Gb Fibre Channel SAN switch designed for entry-level to mid-range enterprise storage networking environments. It provides reliable and cost-effective connectivity between servers and storage arrays, enabling stable SAN infrastructure for smaller data center deployments or edge environments.

This switch is optimized for organizations that require dependable Fibre Channel performance without the complexity or cost of higher-speed SAN fabrics. It supports essential fabric services such as zoning, basic traffic management, and monitoring to ensure consistent and secure data flow within storage networks.

The SN3000B platform is commonly used in legacy SAN environments, backup infrastructures, virtualization clusters, and branch office deployments where 8Gb Fibre Channel is still in operation.

With a compact and efficient design, it helps simplify SAN expansion while maintaining compatibility with existing HPE Storage Networking ecosystems.

Key Features:

• 8Gb Fibre Channel SAN switching capability
• Entry-level to mid-range SAN networking solution
• Supports essential fabric services (zoning, monitoring, traffic control)
• Cost-effective storage network connectivity
• Compatible with legacy HPE SAN environments
