HP 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP F-B Bundle

Introduction

The HP 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.

What's new
- High 1/10GbE port density with ultrafast latency for demanding applications.
- 10/100/1000/10000BASE-T and fiber support for data center deployments.
- IRF support of nine switches simplifies management by up to 88%.
- OpenFlow and SDN automate manual tasks and speed service delivery.
- One license for all OS features, including L3 and FCoE support.

Features

Ultra-low-latency and Wire Speed for Demanding Applications
- The HP 5900 Switch Series provides high density 10/100/100/10000BASE-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 Networking (SDN) support.
- Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) for simpler management, faster re-convergence and business agility.

High-Performance Data Center Switching
- The HP 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.

Increased Resilience with Comware
- The HP 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, and is performed in the background.

Simplicity and Lower TCO
- The HP 5900 Switch Series simplifies switch management by up to 88% with IRF.
- No extra hidden cost with simple one license per switch for all operating system features.
- Automate tedious tasks with SDN and reclaim wasted resources.
