Description
High-Performance Top-of-Rack Switching for Demanding Data Centers
The HPE Networking Comware 5980 Switch (JQ026A) is a high-density, low-latency top-of-rack switch engineered for enterprise data centers that demand exceptional speed, scalability, and agility. Featuring 48 SFP+ 10GbE ports and 6 QSFP28 100GbE ports, this 1RU switch provides robust Layer 2/3 VXLAN and EVPN capabilities and supports SDN with OpenFlow. Its cut-through, non-blocking architecture ensures ultra-low latency (<10µs) for mission-critical applications. Ideal for leaf-spine deployments or medium-sized core infrastructures, it supports deep packet buffering, IRF for resiliency, and seamless centralized management through HPE IMC.
