HP 6125XLG Ethernet Blade Switch 711307-B21
Part Number: 711307-B21
HPE 6125XLG Ethernet Blade Switch
The HPE 6125XLG Ethernet Blade Switch from HPE Networking is built with the enterprise data center in mind. The HPE 6125XLG is based on HPE Comware v7 network operating system, which delivers enterprise grade resiliency The 6125XLG is designed for data center convergence with full support for IEEE Data Center Bridging (DCB) for lossless Ethernet, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols. The Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF) feature allows 3PAR StoreServ arrays to be directly attached to the HP6125XLG switch through FCoE ports. The HPE 6125XLG supports HPE Software-defined Network (SDN) ecosystem that delivers simple, open, and Enterprise ready benefits to automate the data center network. With support for IETF industry standard TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) and SPB (Shortest Path Bridging), the HPE 6125XLG delivers loop free large Layer 2 networks with multi-path support. With the HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) multiple switches can be virtualized and managed as a single entity with the HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC). The HPE 6125XLG is the industry’s first blade witch with VEPA (Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregation) support, enabling customers to unify the management of their physical and virtual networks. Combine these features with Virtual Application Network (VAN) and your data center provides the benefits of versatility of a true Virtualized Network. HPE 6125XLG Ethernet Blade Switch provides flexibility, versatility, and resiliency making it the optimal choice for any blade switching environment.
