The HPE 5900 Switch Series are low-latency 1/10GbE data center top-of-rack (ToR) switches. Perfect for deployment at server access layer in large and medium sized enterprises. These switches may also be used in campus core/distribution layers where higher performance 40GbE connectivity is required with 10GbE links. Virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic require ToR switches that meet the needs for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence, virtual environment support, and low-latency. Optional Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Software Platform for network management.
Ultra-low-latency and Wire Speed for Demanding Applications
The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series provides high density 10/100/1000/10000BASE-T, or fiber ports for high-performance and flexible deployments.
All ports support full L2/L3 features, IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, OpenFlow and TRILL for high scalability and Software-defined Network (SDN) support.
Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) for simpler management, faster re-convergence and business agility.
High-Performance Data Center Switching
The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series delivers 1.28 Tbps switching capacity for the most demanding applications.
Supports up to 952 MPPS throughput for data intensive environments.
Low latency, under a 1.5 us 10GbE latency, provides increased performance.
Four 40GbE QSFP+ ports for blazing fast uplinks.
Business Agility and Resilience with Comware 7
The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series delivers IRF < 50 msec convergence time enabling faster application response times.
In Service Software Update (ISSU) enables high availability with updates accomplished without a reboot or power cycle, in the background.
Simplicity and Lower TCO
The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series simplifies switch management by up to 88% with IRF.
No extra hidden cost with simple one license per switch for all OS features.
All switch ports are active and ready to use without need for activation licenses.
Automate tedious tasks with SDN and reclaim wasted resources.
