HPE Announces General Availability of the SN6750B (G730) Enterprise Switch
On July 5th, HPE expanded their Brocade Gen 7 FC SAN portfolio with the introduction of the SN6750B (G730) enterprise switch. While this launch provides HPE’s customers with industry-leading switch port density, they also gain access to Gen 7 functionality such as enhanced security and Autonomous SAN capabilities that make FC SANs inherently more efficient than Ethernet networks.

New NetApp Verified Architecture Leverages NVMe over FC with VMware vSphere 7.0
The NetApp Verified Architecture (NVA) validates the performance benefits of NVMe/FC vs. SCSI/FCP for VMware vSphere 7.0. The infrastructure includes Brocade G720 switches, Emulex LPe35002 HBAs and NetApp AFF A800 storage. The NVMe/FC solution delivered more than 50% higher total IOPS compared to SCSI/FCP. This enables customers to run more workloads and provide better client performance by enabling NVMe on existing FCP infrastructure.
Download and review the NetApp NVA on NetApp.com
