Product overview

The HP 5900 Switch Series is a family of high-density,

ultra-low-latency, top-of-rack (ToR) switches. It is part of the HP

FlexNetwork architecture's HP FlexFabric solution.

Ideally suited for deployment at the server access layer of large

enterprise data centers, the 5900 switch series is also powerful

enough for deployment at the data center core layer of medium-sized

enterprises. With the increase in virtualized applications and

server-to-server traffic, customers now require a ToR switch, like the

HP 5900, with innovations that will meet their needs for

higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and

storage traffic, the capability to handle virtual environments, and

ultra-low latency, all in a single device.
