HPE FlexFabric 12908E 14.4Tbps Type H Fabric Module - Switch - plug-in module

The HPE FlexFabric 12900 Switch Series is a next-generation modular data center core switch designed to support virtualized data centers and the evolving needs of private and public cloud deployments. The HPE FlexFabric 12900 Switch Series delivers unprecedented levels of performance, buffering, scale, and availability with high density 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE. The Software-defined networking (SDN) enabled with OpenFlow 1.3, the switch supports full Layer 2 and 3 features, including advanced features such as Virtual Extensible LAN (VxLAN), Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) and Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF), which provide 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.

• Nonblocking, lossless Clos architecture
• VxLAN, IRF, and TRILL support for virtualized and cloud deployments
• High 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE density across 46 Tb/s switch fabric
• Enhanced modularity with control and data plane separation
• SDN-enabled with OpenFlow 1.3 support

• Modern scalable system architecture
  Provides nonblocking, lossless Clos architecture with VOQs and large buffers with the flexibility and scalability for future growth.
• Distributed architecture with separation of data and control planes
  Delivers enhanced fault tolerance and facilitates continuous operation and zero service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events.
• Advanced Comware modular operating system
  Brings native high stability, independent process monitoring, and restart through the modular design and multiple processes of HPE Comware v7 software; supports enhanced serviceability functions.
• In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)
  Provides an upgrade of the entire chassis, or an individual task or process, with zero packet loss.
• Multitenant Device Context (MDC)
  Virtualizes a physical switch into multiple logical devices, with each logical switch having its own processes, configuration, and administration.
