Description
The HPE FlexFabric 5945 48SFP28 8QSFP28 Switch (JQ074A) is a high-performance, high-density Layer 3 switch designed for top-of-rack (ToR) or aggregation deployments in enterprise data centers. Delivering ultra-low latency, 100GbE connectivity, and modular flexibility, this switch is built to handle demanding workloads and dynamic virtualized environments. Powered by HPE’s Comware 7 OS and integrated with FlexFabric Network Analytics, it provides advanced visibility, agility, and simplicity in network operations.
Ideal for cloud-driven architectures, the switch supports 48 SFP28 ports and 8 QSFP28 uplinks, delivering up to 2.56 Tbps switching capacity with ultra-low latency under 1µs. Its 1U rack-mountable design and modularity make it a compact yet scalable solution with real-time microburst detection, VXLAN/OVSDB support, and Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) for simplified management and seamless updates.
