OpenFlow and SDN automate manual tasks to accelerate service delivery. The IRF supports nine switches, simplifying management by up to 88%. Featuresġ/10GbE High port density, low latency for demanding applications.ġ0/100/1000/10000BASE-T and fiber support for data center deployment. An optional Intelligent Management Center (IMC) software platform for network management. As virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic increase, customers need ToR switches to meet their needs for higher performance server connectivity, convergence, virtual environment support, and low latency.


These switches may also be used in the campus core/distribution layer, which requires a higher performance 40GbE connection with 10GbE links. The HPE 5900 Series Switches are a range of top-of-rack (ToR) switches with high density and ultra-low latency, ideal for deployment at the server access layer of large enterprise data centers.
