ultimate flexibility for an ever-changing Data Center requirements. This entire series is part of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
FlexFabric data center solution, which is a cornerstone of the FlexNetwork architecture.
The FlexFabric 5940 Switch Series is ideally suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise
data centers, or at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises.
With the increase pace of deploying virtualized applications, adopting software-defined networking, and the server-to-server traffic,
many data centers now require spine and ToR switch innovations that will meet their requirements. The HPE FlexFabric 5940 is
optimized to meet the increasing requirements for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage
traffic, the capability to handle virtual environments, and low-latency.
