JC612A - HPE FlexNetwork 10508 Switch Chassis

Product Description

• The HPE 10500 Switch Series is an enterprise campus core switch designed to meet the evolving needs of a cloud-connected and rich-media-capable infrastructure. It sets a benchmark for performance, reliability, and scalability with powerful Clos architecture (multistage switching network), offers 3-microsecond latency, delivers ultra-high 1/10/40GbE port density.  With HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology, the 10500 Switch Series can be virtualized across four chassis with a single management interface—enabling flatter, more agile networks.

Features

• Open application architecture enables fully-integrated high-performance application-specific modules.
• IMC provides end-to-end visibility and control of the wired network through comprehensive configuration, compliance and policy management.
• Delivers ultra-high 1/10/40GbE port density and very low latency. With 12 interface module slots, the switch can provide 144x40GbE ports, 576x10GbE ports, or 576x1GbE ports. It also offers a choice of a 4-, 8-, and 12-slot chassis.
• The HPE 10500 Switch Series provides a high-speed, fully distributed Clos architecture (multistage switching network) with up to 11.52 Tbps switching capacity and up to 13.72 Tbps switching fabric capacity to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications today and in the future.
• No hidden costs with license-free Layer 2 and 3 feature set including IPv6, MPLS functionality, and robust Quality of Service (QoS).
• IMC supports port and traffic mirroring, RMON and sFlow.
• IMC functions seamlessly in a multivendor network environment providing ease of management across the network edge to data center.
• Included with 10500 Series Switches are a powerful set of multilevel-access security controls, such as varying security management login, RADIUS, SSH, TACACS/TACACS+, to protect and control change management access.
• HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) allows up to four 10500 Switch Series chassis to be virtualized into a single switching/routing fabric that can support more than 2,300 line-rate 10GbE ports or 576 line-rate 40GbE ports.
• The HPE 10500 Switch Series delivers a Clos architecture (multistage switching network) simplifying large-scale switching architecture deployements, reducing possible fault points, and providing stronger defense capabilities.
• Fully featured with included software upgrades to support network deployments across the campus core to aggregation.
• The HPE 10500 Switch Series includes a robust set of security and quality of services features to build a highly trusted network that meets your ever-changing corporate policies and compliances.
• Flexible authentication options include 802.1X, MAC and Web Authentication, and Endpoint Admission Defense, providing you with increased security and policy-driven application authentication.
• Advanced distributed denial of service (DDOS) protection, such as DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and ARP Protection, and flexible traffic controls, such as policy-based routing, QoS, and ACLs, are available to manage end-to-end application priorities.
• The HPE FlexNetwork 10500 Switch Series can be managed as a part of a larger network with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Software.
• HPE Comware 7, an advanced modular operating system, has native high stability, independent process monitoring, and modular design to easily restart processes for seamless upgrades to individual software modules, enhancing serviceability and greater availability.
