HPE Networking Comware 5960 Switch Series

The HPE Networking Comware 5960 Switch Series are high-density, high-performance top-of-rack (ToR) switches suited for deployment at the core and aggregation layer of enterprise data centers, large cloud service providers, and telco environments. These switches offer multiple connectivity options with high-density 400G connectivity and are backward compatible with the widely used 100G QSFP28 ports. Switching capacity of 12.8 Tbps and redundant hot-swappable power supplies offer exceptional performance with improved power savings. VXLAN/EVPN and DRNI lead to improved scalability and resiliency. Enhanced software features such as SR-MPLS running with the latest OS Comware v9 enables a dynamic and highly available network. HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) support on these switches provides a consistent network manageability experience through centralized configuration, compliance, policy management, monitoring, and troubleshooting. The HPE Networking Comware 5960 Switch Series also supports HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer for DC fabric orchestration and application telemetry.
