HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN4700B

As businesses increasingly embrace digital business, data becomes more valuable than ever and users expect that data to be accessible from anywhere, at any time, with uninterrupted service. Any downtime or disruption to that data can result in significant financial losses, damaged reputations, and in some cases, regulatory fines. This puts tremendous pressure on organizations to ensure that critical business operations can continue in the face of adverse events such as natural disasters, ransomware, cyber attacks, or system failures. Data center outages happen, and organizations need to be prepared for malicious intrusion and unexpected disasters to ensure their valuable information is protected. Data replication between data centers is critical for disaster recovery, but it can also be challenging, particularly when dealing with large volumes of data. Companies need their disaster recovery infrastructure to ensure the fast, continuous, and secure replication of mission-critical data anywhere in the world, to prevent data loss or data breaches when in-flight across the WAN.

HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN4700B addresses these challenges by providing a powerful, reliable, secure solution for disaster recovery. This cyber-resilient replication connectivity solution for enterprise storage securely moves more data, faster, over distance for continuous data protection. With ample replication performance, up to 100Gb/s over distance, and built-in technology that overcomes the inherent challenges of latency and packet loss over long distance, the HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN4700B provides high-speed connectivity between locations to dramatically speed up replication performance - even over intercontinental distances. This makes it easier for organizations to move large amounts of data quickly and efficiently, to ensure critical data is available in the event of a disaster. In addition, the HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN4700B includes a suite of features, from pre-deployment validation to advanced network failure recovery technologies, to protect data from WAN disruptions and outages for continuous availability over the WAN.  Moreover, data-in-flight security, coupled with the B-series hardware and software robust security features, secures connections between data centers to safeguard data from threats over the WAN and to protect data from unauthorized access. The HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN4700B is an excellent choice for businesses looking to protect their critical data from cyber threats and ensure business continuity in the event of a disaster..
