Product overview:

 The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series is a family of high-density, ultra-low-latency, top-of-rack (ToR) switches that is part of the HPE FlexNetwork architecture’s HPE FlexFabric solution. Ideally suited for deployment at the server access layer of large enterprise data centers, the HPE FlexFabric 5900 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. 

Key features:

• Cut-through with ultra-low-latency and wire speed 

• HPE Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) for virtualization and two-tier architecture 

• High 1GbE/10GbE ToR port density with 40GbE uplinks 

• IPv6 support in ToR with full L2/L3 features 

• Convergence ready with DCB, FCoE, and TRILL

• Reversible airflow enhanced for data center hot-cold aisle deployment with reversible airflow—for either front-to-back or back-to-front airflow 

• Redundant fans and power supplies 1+1 internal redundant and hot-pluggable power supplies and dual fan trays enhance reliability and availability 

• Lower OPEX and greener data center provide reversible airflow and advanced chassis power management 

• Data Center Bridging (DCB) protocols provides support for IEEE 802.1Qbb Priority Flow Control (PFC), Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX), and IEEE 802.1Qaz Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) for converged applications 

• FCoE support provides support for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), including expansion, fabric, trunk VF and N ports, and aggregation of E-port and N-port virtualization; fabric services such as name server, registered state change notification, and login services; per-VSAN fabric services, FSPF, soft and hard zoning, Fibre Channel traceroute, ping, debugging, and FIP snooping 

• Jumbo frames with frame sizes of up to 10,000 bytes on Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit ports, allows high-performance remote backup and disaster-recovery services to be enabled Manageability 

• Full-featured console provides complete control of the switch with a familiar CLI 

• Troubleshooting – Ingress and egress port monitoring enable network problem solving –Traceroute and ping enable testing of network connectivity 

• Multiple configuration files allow multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image 

• sFlow® (RFC 3176) provides wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring
