The Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Networking Comware Series 5720 Data Center Switch (Part Number: S2N60A) is a versatile and cost-effective Ethernet switch designed to meet the demands of modern data centers and enterprise networks. Featuring 40 high-speed ports, including 10GBASE-T and SFP+ modules, this switch enables seamless scalability from 10GbE to 100GbE, supporting hybrid connectivity options that adapt to evolving network requirements. Its modular design and multiple port types facilitate a flexible deployment environment, providing reliable connectivity for various devices and applications.
Built with advanced features such as Distributed Resilient Network Interconnect (DRNI) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF), this switch offers high availability and network resilience. DRNI allows multiple physical switches to operate as a single virtual device, doubling bandwidth and enhancing fault tolerance, while IRF stacking simplifies management and increases scalability. The switch also supports hardware-based MACsec encryption, ensuring end-to-end secure communication across your network. These features make the HPE 5720 an ideal choice for data centers requiring resilient, high-performance network infrastructure.
Management is streamlined through HPE's Intelligent Management Center (IMC), providing centralized control over configuration, policy enforcement, monitoring, and troubleshooting. The switch's Ethernet technology supports twisted pair media, delivering dependable and productive connectivity. With a built-in stack port, extending your network becomes straightforward and hassle-free. The device also functions as a layer 3 router, enabling scalable network design and efficient traffic management. Designed for ease of installation and operation, the HPE Networking Comware Series 5720 ensures your network infrastructure is both robust and easy to manage, making it suitable for demanding enterprise environments and data centers seeking high throughput, scalability, and security.
In addition to its core features, the switch supports VXLAN with Lite Ethernet VPN (EVPN), providing isolated, scalable overlay services for Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. This enhances network flexibility, security, and performance, especially in complex virtualized environments. Redundant power supplies ensure continuous operation, minimizing downtime and maximizing network availability. Whether deploying a new data center or expanding an existing network, the HPE 5720 switch offers a comprehensive solution that combines high performance, security, and manageability in a compact, reliable package.
