Data center networks - simplified
At the foundation of an agile, scalable data center is a reliable, security, energy-efficient network switching and routing infrastructure. And with Virtualization changing the way enterprise applications are deployed, a flexible and agile network foundation that reduces complexity is critical to rapid service deployment.
HP data center networks are built on a portfolio of switches and routers that offer industry-leading reliability, security, and ease of management that are aligned to propel business agility and support your core business objectives. Flexible and robust, with the elegance of a common architecture and industry leading performance density, HP data center switching and routing platforms enable enterprises to do more with less.
HP’s core-to-edge switch portfolio provides a foundation that delivers rich functionality to ensure an “always-on” network experience for end users. Optimizing application delivery, enhancing employee productivity and ensuring business continuity are just a few of the benefits HP switches and routers deliver. With a common operating system across the majority of the offering, customers can leverage a common platform to expedite network deployment and streamline staff training and system management. Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF™) technology enables interconnected switches to act as a virtual chassis, increasing overall network resiliency, availability and performance. And with addition of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capability for the HP A5820 Switch series for convergence of server and storage I/O connectivity, customers can reduce infrastructure complexity by up to 75% and reduce power consumption as well.
HP routers are full-featured, fault-tolerant and affordable – the right tools to enable an agile, flexible and resilient network infrastructure. With integrated support for high-performance WAN, LAN, wireless and voice services, as well as broadband convergence and next-generation IPv6, HP routers are versatile and easy-to-manage. By minimizing complexity while optimizing performance, they reduce capital and operational expenses while providing long-term protection for your network infrastructure investment.
Built on a portfolio of switching and routing products architected to simplify network operations with deliver ground-breaking TCO, HP data center networks offer rock-solid performance and value from the ground up.
Next-generation, large core/data center switching platforms that provide unprecedented levels of performance, comprehensive networking features, and innovative H3C Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF™) technology to provide the flexibility and resiliency to radically consolidate and simplify network deployment for cutting-edge service delivery while driving down the cost of data center operations.
Industry-leading performance, security, availability and resilience, and integrate network services to address the needs of the most demanding enterprise data center networks.
Fixed and semi-modular form factors that combine the resilient architecture and flexibility of a chassis in a compact, fixed platform. High density, 10 Gigabit Ethernet line-rate performance, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) for server/storage I/O consolidation, and integrated network application hosting.
HP A8800 provides carrier-class service, security and availability for enterprise networks utilizing the most advanced technology to provide high backplane switching capabilities. Features a hierarchical quality of service (H-QoS) that ensures mission-critical data is delivered without delay
