HPE 5945 48SFP28 8QSFP28 Switch

The HPE FlexFabric 5945 Switch Series are high-density, ultra-low-latency, and top-of-rack (ToR) switches ideally suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise data centers, the HPE 5945 is also powerful enough for deployment at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises. With the increase in virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic, customers require spine and ToR switches that can meet their throughput requirements. With the HPE 5945, data centers can now support up to 100GbE per port, allowing high performance server connectivity and the capabilities to handle virtual environments. The HPE FlexFabric 5945 Switch Series provides choices that fit your budget and IT environment by cut-through with ultra-low-latency and wire speed, offering different port density and speeds 100GbE/40GbE/25GbE/10GbE spine/ ToR connectivity.
