Product overview

The HPE JL279-61001 Altoline 6960 is a high-performance 32-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for demanding datacenter environments. It provides 3.2 Tbps switching capacity, enabling non-blocking wire-speed performance across all ports for east-west traffic in spine/leaf topologies. Equipped with 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM for robust packet buffering and processing, it includes two AC power supplies with front-to-back airflow for reliable operation in standard rack setups. This switch supports ultra-high bandwidth applications like AI/ML training, hyperscale cloud networking, and HPC clusters, offering low-latency forwarding and scalable QSFP28 connectivity. Its compact 1U form factor maximizes port density while ensuring energy-efficient cooling and high availability through redundant PSUs.
