- 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.
- 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 sub-second convergence times.
- 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.
- Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) creates virtual resilient switching fabrics where two HPE FlexFabric 12900E Switch Series perform as a single Layer 2 switch and Layer 3 router that can be attached using standard LACP for automatic load balancing and high availability.
HPE FlexFabric 12900 switch series is the next generation modular data center core switch designed to support virtualized data centers and evolution needs of private and public clouds deployments. The 12900 delivers unprecedented levels of performance, buffering, scale, and availability with high density 10 GbE and 40 GbE today, and is ready for 100 GbE in the future.
The HPE FlexFabric 12900 switch series includes a 10-slot chassis with front to back airflow. Ready for software-defined networking (SDN), the switch supports full Layer 2 and 3 features, including advanced features such as TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) and Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF), which provides the ability to build large, resilient switching fabrics.
The HPE FlexFabric 12900 switch series also supports fully redundant and hot-swappable components to complement its other enterprise-class capabilities.
