HPE Networking Switches

The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5945 is a family of high-density, ultra-low-latency top-of-rack (ToR) switches designed for large enterprise data centers and telecom environments. Ideal for aggregation or server access layers, these switches deliver exceptional performance and scalability—and are powerful enough for core deployments in medium-sized enterprises.

As virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic grow, data centers need spine and ToR switches that meet demanding throughput requirements. The 5945 series supports up to 100GbE per port, enabling high-performance server connectivity and seamless handling of virtual environments. With cut-through switching, wire-speed performance, and ultra-low latency, the 5945 series offers flexible options for port density and speeds, including 100GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE, and 10GbE, to fit your budget and IT environment.

The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5710 are purpose built top-of-rack data center switches that address the growth of Web, cloud and dense virtualized environments that require high performance 1/10GbE server connectivity, direct attached IP storage networking and GbE out-of-band server management. The 5710 Series switch is a family of fixed high-performance and low-latency 1/10GbE top-of-rack data center switches designed for small to mid-size data center rack server connectivity. The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5710 provides choices that fit your budget and IT environment by offering different port density and speeds (1/10G) SFP+ or 10BASE-T with 40 and 100GbE high speed uplinks options. Although affordability priced, the 5710 Series switch offers a comprehensive set of data center features including full support for Layer 2, Layer 3, IPv4 and IPv6 networking protocols at no additional cost for these advanced features.

The HPE FlexFabric 5940 Switch Series is a family of high-performance and low-latency 10GbE and 40GbE top-of-rack (ToR) data center switches. The 5940 Switch includes 100G uplink technology which is part of the HPE FlexFabric data center solution and is a cornerstone of the FlexNetwork architecture.
The 5940 Switch is suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise data centers or at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises. It is optimized for high-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic, and virtual environments.

The HPE FlexFabric 5980 Switch Series is a high-performance and low-latency 10 GbE top-of-rack, data center switch designed to meet the increasing requirements for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic, the capability to handle virtual environments, and low latency. The switch includes 100Gbps uplink technology and is ideally suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise data centers or at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises.

The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 12900E is a next-generation modular data center core switch designed to support virtualized data centers and the evolving needs of private and public cloud deployments. It offers unprecedented levels of performance, buffering, scale, and availability with high-density 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE,100GbE and 400GbE connectivity. The switch series includes 1-, 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-slot chassis. Ready for software-defined networking (SDN), the HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 12900E supports a full Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature set as well as advanced data center features to build resilient scalable fabrics and deliver outstanding convergence times.

The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5900 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 a user-friendly operating system (OS) Comware v7. HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) helps create simpler, flatter, and more 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).
