Marketing Information: The HPE FlexFabric 12900E Switch Series is a next-generation modular data center core switch designed to support virtualized data centers and the evolving needs of private and public cloud deployments. It offers unprecedented levels of performance, buffering, scale, and availability with high-density GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE connectivity. The switch series includes 1-, 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-slot chassis. Ready for software-defined networking (SDN), the HPE FlexFabric 12900E Switch supports a full Layer 2 and 3 feature set as well as advanced data center features to build resilient scalable fabrics and deliver outstanding convergence times.
FEATURES | Modern, Scalable and Distributed Architecture
The HPE FlexFabric 12900E Switch Series provides non-blocking, lossless Clos architecture with VOQs and large buffers with the flexibility and scalability for future growth.
Distributed architecture with separation of data and control planes delivers enhanced fault tolerance and facilitates continuous operation and zero service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events.
Advanced Comware modular operating system brings native high stability, independent process monitoring, and restart through the modular design and multiple processes of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Comware v7 software; enhanced serviceability functions are supported.
In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) provides an upgrade of the entire chassis, or an individual task or process, with zero packet loss.
High-Performance Switch Series with Broad Interface Options
The HPE FlexFabric 12900E Switch Series lets you build Layer 2 and Layer 3 fabrics which are flexible, resilient, and scalable with VxLAN support and subsecond convergence times.
High-density 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE interface connectivity with up to 16 interface module slots scales up to 768 1GbE/10GbE, 768 40GbE ports and 576 100GbE ports.
Distributed scalable fabric architecture offers up to six fabric modules delivering more than 43.2 Tbps per slot bandwidth.
Optimized for the Next-Generation Data Center
The HPE FlexFabric 12900E Switch Series let you build Layer 2 fabrics which are flexible, resilient, and scalable with VxLAN, TRILL and/or Hewlett Packard Enterprise IRF.
Type X modules that offer automation capabilities with HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer, streaming telemetry support with Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) and up to 16K multicast group support.
Enhanced HPE Multitenant Device Context (MDC) for multi-tenancy giving you the ability to virtualize a physical switch into multiple logical device.
