What is the switching capacity?

The switch provides 1.28 Tbps switching capacity with non-blocking, cut-through architecture delivering ~1 microsecond latency for 10GbE. Ideal for demanding applications, it ensures wire-speed throughput across all ports in enterprise core setups.

Yes, the HPE 5900CP 48XG 4QSFP+ is TAA-compliant and FIPS 140-2 capable, meeting U.S. government trade agreement standards for procurement. This makes it suitable for federal and regulated environments requiring certified hardware.

What management software does it use?

It runs Comware OS, supporting IRF stacking that reduces management complexity by up to 88% with sub-50ms convergence. Features include SPB, TRILL, and EVB/VEPA for advanced data center fabrics and simplified operations.

What form factor is it?

1U rack-mountable design optimizes space in standard 19-inch racks, with front-to-back airflow options like X711/X712 fan trays. Perfect for top-of-rack deployments in dense enterprise data centers.

Does it support converged networking?

Yes, with 48 converged ports supporting 1/10GbE, 4/8Gb FC, FCoE, and iSCSI. Enables wire-once infrastructure connecting Ethernet, storage SANs, reducing cabling and TCO in unified fabrics.
