Server Interconnects

Do you need a 1Gb switch that increases your data center efficiency and capability?

Designed for the c-Class BladeSystem enclosure, the HPE 6125G Ethernet Blade Switch appeals to budget-conscious data centers that need 1Gb switching and routing with the resiliency of Intelligent Resilient Networking (IRF), stacking, and the stability of Comware. It is ideal for remote office applications, or wherever IPv6, full Layer 3 routing and distributed trunking are required for 1Gb applications.

The HPE 6125G/XG Ethernet Blade Switch brings the rich features of the HPE Comware network operating system, that delivers a common level of features, service and security levels from edge to core. Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) improves the performance and resiliency of the network while simplifying network deployment and management. Intelligent Management Center (IMC) is comprehensive management platform that provides one management application for all networking resources, manages 3rd party devices, unifies physical & virtual networks.

With sixteen 1G downlink ports, a combination of 1G and 10G uplink ports supporting both copper and fiber media, the HPE 6125G/XG reduces network costs while increasing data center efficiency and capability.

The HPE 6125G/XG is perfect for low cost edge aggregation, virtualization, scale-out, and hyper-scale environments that require a 1G/10G connectivity and cost effective solution.

The Mellanox SX1018HPE Ethernet Switch is the highest-performing Ethernet fabric solution in a blade switch form factor. It delivers up to 1.36 Tb/s of non-blocking throughput perfect for High-Performance Computing, Storage/Hadoop applications, Telecommunications/Carrier, Oil/Gas, Service Providers, Financial Services, and Cloud/Hyperscale environments

The SX1018HPE is an ultra-low latency switch that is ideally suited as an access switch providing InfiniBand like performance with sixteen 10 Gb/40 Gb server side downlinks and eighteen 40 Gb QSFP+ uplinks to the core with port to port latency as low as 220 ns.

Mellanox SX1018HPE Ethernet Switch has a rich set of Layer 2 networking and security features and supports faster application performance and enhanced server CPU utilization with RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), making this switch the perfect solution for any high performance Ethernet network.

The HPE 6125XLG Ethernet Blade Switch is the next generation blade switching technology for data center environments that delivers a high-performance, feature-rich, and low-latency 10/40 GbE switch. HPE 6125XLG provides a converged fabric solution that supports Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF) protocols that enables connectivity for FCoE storage solutions. The HPE 6125XLG is protected by HPE Services 3-Years Next Business Day 9x5 Hardware Support.

The Cisco Fabric Extender for HPE BladeSystem (Model B22HP) provides an extension of the Cisco Nexus switch fabric to the HPE server edge. Logically, it behaves like a remote line card to a parent Cisco Nexus 5000 series switch, with the Fabric Extender and the parent Nexus together forming a distributed modular system. The Cisco Fabric Extender for HPE BladeSystem forwards traffic to the parent Cisco Nexus switch over eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks.

Low-cost uplink connections up to 10 meters can be made with copper Twin-ax cable, and longer connections up to 100 meters can use optional Fabric Extender Transceivers. Standard 10Gb SFP+ optics are also supported.

Downlinks to each server are auto-negotiating and work with all HPE Ethernet and CNA modules allowing a choice of Ethernet, FCoE or iSCSI connections. Passing all traffic seamlessly to the Nexus 5000 allows traffic to be shaped according to policies established by the Nexus 5000 Series Switch with a single point of management.

Do you have a complex data center that requires a demanding networking infrastructure?

It all starts at the edge and that’s where the HPE 6127XLG Ethernet Blade Switch excels. The 6127XLG Ethernet Blade Switch is designed to support virtualized server environments with exceptional bandwidth of 20GbE to each and every server, while providing a mix of 40GbE and 10GbE links (with an astounding aggregate of 240 Gb) to the core network. Combined with hardware support for VXLAN encapsulation, this provides the perfect switch for Private/Public/Hybrid Cloud applications. Enterprise customers will not be disappointed with the 6127XLG Ethernet Blade Switch as it provides a converged fabric solution that supports Ethernet, iSCSI, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF) protocols enabling connectivity for multiple storage topologies. A full complement of Layer 2/3 protocols and the latest in network security features round out this most capable of blade switches.
