HPE FlexFabric 5900CP Switch Series
The HPE FlexFabric 5900CP Switch Series is a family of high-density, ultra-low-latency, converged, top-of-rack (ToR) switches that is part of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) FlexNetwork architecture’s HPE FlexFabric solution.
Ideally suited for deployment at the server access layer of medium or large enterprise data centers, the HPE FlexFabric 5900CP Switch
Series is also powerful enough for deployment at the data center core layer of medium-sized enterprises. With the increase in virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic, customers now require ToR switch innovations that will meet their needs for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic, the capability to handle virtual environments, and ultra-low-latency all in a single device.
The 5900CP has been tested in typical and popular storage configurations with HPE 3PAR storage solutions. Tested and supported deployments include FC, FCoE, iSCSI and NAS storage environments. They also include single and multiple hop configurations as well as connecting to 3rd party FC SANs.The FlexFabric 5900CP is SDN-enabled and supports OpenFlow protocol.
