HPE FlexFabric 5901AF 48-Port 1GBaseT 4XG 2QSFP+ Switch

The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series are high density, 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 coupled with dual, redundant hot swappable power-supplies provide investment protection, reliability, and availability, and allow advanced chassis power management. These switches also provide network visibility through multi-vendor network management with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC).

• Introducing a new TAA-compliant top-of-rack switch with 48 × 1G Base-T, 4 × 10G SFP+, and 2 × 40G QSFP+ ports for secure and compliant deployments:
• HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology provides greater resilience and scalability:
• Cut-through with low-latency and varying wire speed performance:
• Rich feature sets with IPv4 and IPv6 support Layer 2, Layer 3, and quality of service (QoS) / access control list (ACL) features.:
• OpenFlow: ™ | and NETCONF | ™ | for automating manual tasks and improving service delivery
• Dual, redundant hot-pluggable power supplies with reversible airflow help reduce power consumption:
• Low latency and multiple wire-speed for demanding applications in the data center environment: The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5900 provides multiple wirespeed 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1/10/40G fiber ports for high-performance and flexible deployments. | All ports support full L2/L3 features, IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, OpenFlow | ™ | , and NETCONF | ™ | for high scalability and software-defined network (SDN) support. | HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) stacking enables uninterrupted L2 switching and L3 forwarding, reducing operational complexity.
• High-Performance data center switching: The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5900 delivers 336 Gbps switching capacity for demanding applications. | It supports up to 250 Mpps throughput for data-intensive environments. | With low latency (under 1.5 µs for 10GbE), this switch series delivers increased network throughput. It also includes two 40GbE QSFP+ ports for blazing-fast uplinks. | It supports zero touch provisioning (ZTP) eliminating human errors and accelerating ROI.
• Simplicity and lower TCO: The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5900 simplifies switch management by up to 88% with multi-unit IRF. | 1 | Dual, redundant hot-swappable power supplies with reversible airflow (front-to-back/back-to-front) reduce power consumption. | It supports centralized configuration, compliance and policy management, monitoring, and troubleshooting with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) for a consistent network management experience. | All operating system (OS) features are included with a single license per switch—no hidden costs. | All switch ports are active and ready to use without need for activation licenses.
• Business agility and resilience: The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5900 achieves IRF convergence in less than 50 milliseconds (ms) for faster application response times. | It provides in-service software update (ISSU) for high availability with modular updates accomplished without downtime. | All switch ports are active and ready to use without need for activation licenses. | Automate tedious tasks with SDN and reclaim wasted resources.
