Notes: To order factory integration, add 0D1 after the part number on your sales order.

Software Components, Standard, Base Models

Frame Filtering

An ASIC based capability that enables new applications and features.  The switch has the ability to "view" the first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame.  At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced capabilities such as Advanced Zoning.

Advanced Zoning

WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same simple administration previously enforced only with software.  Administrators can organize a physical fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.

Web Tools

Web Tools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to monitor and manage SAN fabrics.  Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location within the enterprise.

Adaptive Networking

Adaptive Networking (AN) is a family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic movement within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources.  Applications may be used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the following features:

· Ingress Rate Limiting: Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN node.  This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.

· Quality of Service (QoS): Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis.  This can be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.

· Traffic Isolation Zones: Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes.  Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if the preferred fails.  TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred path fails.  TIZ can be used to manually map out traffic flows within a fabric based on application, priority, and topology.

Software Components, Optional

HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN3600B 32 Gb Switch Power Pack+ Software Bundle

The HPE Power Pack+ Software Bundle comes with the SN3600B 32 Gb 24/24 Power Pack+ Software. The customers can purchase it separately as an optional software bundle for the SN3600B 32 Gb FC Switch.  Power Pack+ Software includes the following:

• Fabric Vision

Fabric Vision

Fabric Vision technology provides a breakthrough hardware and software solution that helps simplify monitoring, maximize network availability, and dramatically reduce costs.  Featuring innovative monitoring, management, and diagnostic capabilities, Fabric Vision technology enables administrators to avoid problems before they impact operations, helping their organizations meet SLAs. It Includes:

• Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS): A policy-based monitoring tool with pre-built rules and automation that simplifies fabric-wide threshold configuration and monitoring. Configuration and Operational Monitoring Policy Automation Services Suite (COMPASS): Simplifies deployment, safeguards consistency, and increases operational efficiencies of larger environments with automated switch and fabric configuration services.  Administrators can configure a template or adopt an existing configuration to seamlessly deploy a configuration across the fabric.
• ClearLink Diagnostics: Ensures optical and signal integrity for Fibre Channel optics and cables, simplifying deployment and support of high-performance fabrics.  ClearLink Diagnostic Port (D_Port) is an advanced capability of Fibre Channel platforms.
• Flow Vision:  A comprehensive tool that enables administrators to identify, monitor, and analyze specific application data flows in order to simplify troubleshooting, maximize performance and avoid congestion without using taps to ensure optimized performance.
• Health and performance dashboard:  A single customizable screen displayed in HPE Management Portal that contains all critical SAN information for convenient review and analysis.

Extended Fabric

Optional license which extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard.

ISL Trunking

For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to eight 32 Gbps SFP+ ports per ISL trunk to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches.  Each 32 Gb switch needs its own license.  The switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 256 Gbps) when routing connections between 32 Gb switches.  Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group.

HPE SANnav Management Software

HPE SANnav Management Software is the next-generation SAN management application suite for HPE B-series SAN environments. It consists of SANnav Management Portal Software and SANnav Global View Software:

• SANnav Management Portal is a next-generation SAN management application with a simple browser-based user interface (UI) streamlining common workflows, such as configuration, zoning, deployment, troubleshooting, and reporting.
• SANnav Global View helps administrators visualize the health, performance and inventory of multiple SANnav Management Portal instances at data centers across the globe or a single multi-tenant data center using a simple, intelligent dashboard.

SANnav Management Portal and SANnav Global View not only transform SAN telemetry data into useful insights, such as health and performance scores, but also enable administrators to quickly associate real-time data with historical metrics and logs for in-depth analysis. This can help with spotting trends, establishing baselines, and identifying any behavioral changes over time.
