Reasons To Buy

Improved Performance

The director features up to 128Gbps FC performance and up to 62Tbps chassis bandwidth to address I/O and bandwidth-intensive applications for private cloud storage and highly virtualized environments.
Supports switching capacity of up to 1,133M frames per second, enabling more than 2.7 billion IOPS. ^[1]
To further maximize utilization, up to 128 UltraScale ICL links allow the director to scale efficiently with fewer chassis by preserving device ports for device connectivity.
The director delivers higher chassis, slot-to-slot, and port performance, enabling faster application deployment.
The director provides local switching to verify that data traffic within the same port group does not consume slot bandwidth, thereby increasing the number of line-rate ports.

Simplified Management

The director offers a comprehensive suite of features that maximize network uptime, simplify SAN management, and provide unprecedented visibility and insight across the storage network, dramatically reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Equipped with embedded SAN AI technology, which automates application infrastructure management that reduces the need for manual administration, ensuring a resilient network that remains stable and efficient even as workloads and infrastructure complexity continue to grow.
Self-optimizing technology uses actionable intelligence and real-time health monitoring to prioritize traffic, manage congestion, and notify issues—ensuring optimal performance for applications and storage.
Adaptive Traffic Optimizer guarantees critical application performance by automatically prioritizing traffic. When traffic characteristics in the fabric change, the performance groups dynamically adapt to provide the optimal performance group configuration for the individual fabric.

Improves Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Solutions

The director delivers high bandwidth, port density, and throughput required for application performance over WAN connections addressing demanding disaster recovery (DR) requirements through 128Gb, 64Gb, 32Gb FC, and 1GbE/10GbE/40GbE ports.
Reduces bandwidth costs with in-flight data compression at wire speed and increases security with in-flight data encryption.

Lower TCO

The SN8800B and SN8700B directors seamlessly integrate with NVMe throughout the fabric.
The UltraScale ICLs enable scalable core-edge and active-active full-mesh chassis topologies, reducing interswitch cabling by 75% to 87.5%. ^[1] ^[2]
HPE B-series directors use optical inter-chassis links (ICLs) to connect up to 12 directors, enabling flatter, faster, scalable fabrics that boost consolidation while reducing network complexity and costs. ^[1]
To meet ever-increasing demands for faster, more reliable data access, it is essential for organizations to deploy a modernized infrastructure that reduces latency, increases bandwidth, and helps ensure near-continuous availability. Unprecedented performance is not enough on its own.
