HPE FF 5940 48SFP+ 6QSFP+ Reman Switch

The HPE FlexFabric 5940 Switch Series is a family of high performance and low-latency 10GbE, 40GbE top-of-rack (ToR) data center switches. The switch series also includes 100 G and 40 G uplink technology and is part of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise FlexFabric data center solution, which is a cornerstone of the FlexNetwork architecture.

The FlexFabric 5940 Switch Series is ideally suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise data centers, or at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises.

With the increased pace of deploying virtualized applications, adopting software-defined networking, and the server-to-server traffic, many data centers now require spine and ToR switch innovations that will meet their requirements. The HPE FlexFabric 5940 is optimized to meet the increasing requirements for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic, the capability to handle virtual environments, and low latency.

Features and benefits

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Powerful QoS features
  
  
• Flexible queue scheduling Including strict priority (SP), WRR, WDRR, WFQ, SP+WRR, SP+WDRR, SP+WFQ, configurable buffer, time range, queue shaping, CAR with 8 Kbps granularity
• Packet filtering and remarking Packet filtering at L2 through L4; flow classification based on source MAC address, destination MAC address, source IP (IPv4/ IPv6) address, destination IP (IPv4/IPv6) address, port, protocol, and VLAN

Data center optimized

• Flexible high-port density
• The 5940 Switch Series enables customers to scale their server-edge 10/40/100GbE ToR deployments to new heights with high-density 48 fixed x 10GbE with 6 ports of 40 G; 48 fixed x 10GbE with 6 ports of 100 G; and 32 fixed x 40GbE, all delivered in a 1 RU design. The 5940 32 ports of 40 G switch can also be configured as a 96 x 10GbE port device by using a 40 G to 10GbE splitter cable that can turn 24 of the 40GbE ports into four 10GbE ports. The 48-port models come in SFP+ or BASE-T.
  
  
• The 5940 Switch Series also includes 2-slot (1RU) and 4-slot (2RU) options which allow for customization of ports at the ToR. Module options include 8 x 40 G ports; 2 x 40 G and 2 x 100 G ports; 24 x 10 G (SFP+ or BaseT) with 2 x 40 G ports (MACsec and FC options available) High-performance switching Cut-through and non-blocking architecture delivers low latency (~1 microsecond for 10GbE) for very demanding enterprise applications; the switch delivers high-performance switching capacity and wire-speed packet forwarding

• High-performance switching
  Cut-through and non-blocking architecture delivers low latency (~1 microsecond for 10GbE) for very demanding enterprise applications; the switch delivers high-performance switching capacity and wire-speed packet forwarding

• Higher scalability
  Hewlett Packard Enterprise Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology simplifies the architecture of server access networks; up to nine HPE 5940 switches can be combined to deliver unmatched scalability of virtualized access layer switches and flatter two-tier networks using IRF, which reduces cost and complexity

• Advanced modular operating system Comware v7 software's modular design and multiple processes bring native high stability, independent process monitoring, and restart; the OS also allows individual software modules to be upgraded for higher availability and supports enhanced serviceability functions such as hitless software upgrades
