How can you provide fast, reliable, and cost-effective connectivity in the data center with predictable performance?
HPE M-series SN241M Ethernet switches are ideal for modern server and storage networks. They are an ideal top-of-rack (ToR) solution with 1 GbE and 25 GbE or 1 GbE systems with wire-speed Layer 2 and 3 features that delivers predictable performance and zero packet loss at line-rate across all ports and packet sizes. Enhanced for storage with efficient design, it provides enterprise-level performance with attractive economics and outstanding ROI. Networks built on the HPE SN241M are fast, reliable, and scalable while also being affordable and easy to manage. They support primary and secondary storage, providing consistently fair, fast, low-latency connectivity even under heavy workloads or a mix of different port speeds. This makes them ideal for storage, hyper converged, financial services, and media and entertainment deployments.
High Density Data Center Switching
The HPE M-series SN241M Ethernet switch is a ToR data center switch offering two form-factor configurations: a 1U 48-port 25 GbE SFP28 with 8-port 1 GbE QSFP28, or a 1U 48-port 1GbE SFP+ with 8-port 1 GbE QSFP28.
Each switch offers cost-effective options with entry at 24-ports and a pay-as-you grow with a software license offering more flexibility to customers to add capacity when needed.
Each switch delivers 1 GbE ports that may be further split into four 25 GbE ports or support for 4 GbE that can be further split into four 1 GbE.
Each switch delivers data rates from 1 GbE to 1 GbE (1, 1, 25, 4, 1 GbE) providing future-proofing for connectivity options.
Superior Performance with Future-proof Growth
The HPE M-series SN241M Ethernet switches deliver predictable and consistent throughput regardless of the packet size being transferred, the mixture of ports which are sending data and even within mixed speed environments.
It 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.
Enhanced for Demanding Enterprise Data Centers and Storage Environments
The HPE M-series SN241M switch provides a flexible combination of ports, allowing great flexibility and efficiency, simplifying scale-out environments, and saving on total cost of ownership (TCO).
Enhanced port configuration enables high-speed rack connectivity to the server at 1 GbE or 25 GbE speeds with 1 GbE uplink ports that allow for a variety of blocking ratios that suit specific application requirements.
Unleash Storage Performance and Improve Flash ROI
The HPE M-series SN241M switch provides ultra-low latency of under 3ns port-to-port. This is advantageous for flash storage, which has moved latency bottlenecks from storage access to the network, as well as for the burst nature of today’s software defined and cloud data centers traffic.
The buffering architecture of HPE SN241M switches provides superior micro burst absorption for applications that burst data at random intervals.
