HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series

The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch series include high density, ultra-low latency Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches suited for deployment at the access layer and management network of medium-sized and large enterprise data centers. To meet the increased demand for virtualization, scalability and programmability, these switches provide high performance switching with low latency and user-friendly OS (Comware v7). Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) helps in simpler, flatter, and agile networks by combining multiple physical switches into a logical device. Network and security features storage convergence coupled with dual, redundant hot swappable power-supplies ensure investment protection, reliability, availability and allow advanced chassis power management.  The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch series supports HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) with multi-vendor management for complete network visibility.<
