With a significant increase in virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic, users now require TOR switch innovations that meet their requirements for high-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic. Moreover, the capacity to handle virtual environments has become a need.
With ultra-deep packet buffering, HP IRF virtualization and 2-tier architecture, high 10GbE ToR port density, IPv6 support in ToR with full L2/L3 features and TRILL and VEPA readiness for virtualized networks, the HP5920 series of switches is high-density and part of HP FlexNetwork architecture’s HP FlexFabric solution module. Best suited for deployments at the server access layer of large enterprise data centers, they are designed for content delivery networks, more so when used to reduce network congestion at the I/O, which is associated with the heavy use of server virtualization, multimedia and other critical services like storage applications.
