The HPE SN2600B SAN Extension Switch is a purpose-built extension platform designed for midrange storage environments that demand high performance, reliability, and scalable connectivity across multisite data centers. Built to support block, file, and tape data protection solutions, this B-series switch acts as a bridge between storage fabrics, enabling seamless replication, disaster recovery, and rapid data access across geographically dispersed sites. Whether you’re consolidating storage at a central data center or extending your SAN fabric to regional facilities, the SN2600B delivers the bandwidth, flexibility, and manageability required for modern storage architectures.

  • High-performance SAN extension Enables robust, low-latency connectivity between data centers, supporting mission-critical workloads and rapid data replication across sites.
  • 32Gb Fibre Channel capability Provides the speed and bandwidth necessary to handle growth in midrange storage environments while maintaining compatibility with existing 32Gb fabrics.
  • 4-port 16Gb Short Wave SFP+ interfaces Delivers reliable long-distance connections to SAN fabrics, enabling scalable multisite deployments without compromising latency or throughput.
  • HPE B-series integration Seamlessly fits into the HPE B-series ecosystem, leveraging familiar management tools, security features, and proven reliability for enterprise-grade storage networks.
  • Comprehensive protection for data across locations Supports block, file, and tape data protection strategies, empowering organizations to implement robust backup, recovery, and disaster-recovery workflows across sites.

How to install HPE SN2600B 32Gb 12/4 4-port 16Gb Short Wave SFP+ SAN Extension Switch

  • Plan your SAN topology and ensure compatibility with your current HPE B-series fabric. Map out extension pathways between data centers and verify cable distances and SFP+ compatibility.
  • Prepare the installation site in a standard 19-inch rack or cabinet, ensuring adequate clearance for cooling and maintenance access around the SN2600B unit.
  • Power down the chassis or ensure hot-swappable operation if your data center supports it, then install the SN2600B into the rack and connect power supplies according to your facility’s electrical standards.
  • Connect the 4 x 16Gb Short Wave SFP+ ports to the designated SAN fabric interfaces, matching zoning and LUN requirements with adjacent storage switches and directors.
  • Power up the switch and use the established management interface to configure fabric parameters, zoning, and security policies. Validate link status, throughput, and path availability across all connected endpoints.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the primary purpose of the HPE SN2600B? The SN2600B is a SAN Extension Switch designed to bridge storage area networks between data centers, enabling multisite deployment, replication, and robust data protection across block, file, and tape environments.
  • Q: How many ports does the SN2600B provide for SAN extension? It features 4-port 16Gb Short Wave SFP+ interfaces for high-speed, long-distance extension of the SAN fabric, paired with 32Gb Fibre Channel capability per link.
  • Q: Is the SN2600B compatible with other HPE B-series switches? Yes. The SN2600B is built to integrate with the HPE B-series ecosystem, allowing existing fabrics to scale without major architectural changes and leveraging familiar management tools.
  • Q: What workloads can benefit most from the SN2600B? Midrange storage environments running mission-critical block workloads, distributed file storage, and data protection tasks (backup and disaster recovery) across multiple sites will see the greatest benefits from extended SAN connectivity and improved recovery times.
  • Q: How does the SN2600B improve multisite data protection? By enabling efficient, high-speed SAN extension between data centers, it supports replication workflows, synchronous or asynchronous replication strategies, and centralized management for cross-site protection plans.
  • Q: What should I consider when installing? Plan for zoning, path management, and compatibility with your storage arrays; ensure proper cabling distances for Short Wave SFP+ links; and validate performance under expected workloads after deployment.

Hmmmm not really a cooling case
Color: 07-beige, Size: 20" X 36" (Pack of 2)
I bought these because like many I get hot at night, right around my neck. While it's soft and satin to the touch, and cool to touch, it doors keep me cool presay. I still get hot, I flip the pillow and because it's cool, I get cooled down. Again doesn't actually keep me cool all night though.

Finally sleeping through the night without waking up drenched
I was dealing with night sweats almost every night. Waking up overheated, flipping my pillow over constantly, just uncomfortable and restless. It was starting to mess with my sleep in a real way. Since switching to this cooling pillowcase (and pairing it with a cooling blanket), it’s been a completely different experience. I’m actually staying cool through the night and not waking up soaked or irritated. The fabric feels cool to the touch right away and doesn’t trap heat like a regular pillowcase. It’s smooth, comfortable, and still feels good after washing. Not stiff or weird like some “cooling” materials can be. Is it magic? No. But does it noticeably reduce overheating and help you sleep better? Absolutely. If you run hot at night or deal with night sweats, this is one of those small upgrades that makes a big difference. I wish I had bought it sooner.

so far so good
I was surprised at this pair of pillow cases only because the material seemed impossible to be cooling - it's that weird polyester blend. So far I have not awoken feeling sweaty around my face and scalp. I don't recall what I originally paid but I think it is great value for money! If you are sensitive to out of the box smell, I washed mine first and it didn't impede on the efficacy of the cooling!

It’s like sleeping on a beach in San Vito lo Capo
Italian voice: I’m a big meaty fella so I put off a lot of heat ya hear. These pillow cases have changed my life. One moment they’re hot and the next you flip them and you’re blasted with a blast of ice cool what it feels like to chew 5 gum feeling capeesh. I would reccomend these pillow cases to even my grandma. If ya wanta get a rest so good that it feels like ya been sleeping with the fishes get these pillow cases, they’re the real deal. Then stop at Pauline’s joint and grab a slice of pizza say Vinnie sent ya. Anyways I gotta go my wife’s cooking up a mean lasgna and we’re gonna watch the dodgers. Let me know how these treat ya I guarantee they will change your life. Vinnie out
