HPE QW938SB SN3000B 16Gb 24-Port/24-Port Active FC Switch

HPE QW938SB SN3000B 16Gb 24‑Port Fibre Channel Switch

Overview

The HPE QW938SB is a 1U rack‑mount Fibre Channel network switch designed for SAN environments where high‑density 16 Gbps connectivity and reliability are required. It offers 24 SFP+ ports for Fibre Channel traffic, enabling block‑level storage fabrics, SAN‑to‑SAN extensions or high‑throughput interconnects among storage arrays, backup appliances and replication nodes. The module supports full duplex communications and fits into standard data‑centre racks, engineered for use in enterprise storage networks, DR‑site fabrics and large‑scale backup clusters. It integrates into existing SAN management ecosystems, and leverages industry‑standard management protocols including SNMP, SSH and system logging, enabling unified operations with Brocade‑ or HPE‑based FC infrastructures. The form‑factor and port density make it suitable for mid‑tier to upper‑tier data‑centre racks where consolidation of FC switching ports is critical, yet simplicity of cabling and uniform management remain a priority.
