Introduction

The HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series are purpose built top-of-rack data center switches that address the growth of Web, cloud and dense virtualized environments that require high performance 1/10GbE server connectivity, direct attached IP storage networking and GbE out-of-band server management. The HPE 5710 is a family of fixed high-performance and low-latency 1/10GbE top-of-rack data center switches designed for small to mid-size data center rack server connectivity. The HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series provides choices that fit your budget and IT environment by offering different port density and speeds (1/10G) SFP+ or 10BASE-T with 40 and 100GbE high speed uplinks options. Although affordability priced, the HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series offers a comprehensive set of data center features including full support for Layer 2, Layer 3, IPv4 and IPv6 networking protocols at no additional cost for these advanced features.

Features

Accelerate Application Performance
- HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series are high density, low-latency switches, the perfect solution for bandwidth-intensive workloads.
- Two-tier network design delivers outstanding performance while protecting and extending existing Hewlett Packard Enterprise or 3rd party core network investments.
- Delivers up to 1,440 Gbps switching capacity for the most demanding applications.
- Low latency, under 1.5 µs 10GbE latency, provides improved throughput and fewer lost packets.

Simplify Administration and Support
- The HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch addresses small to mid-size organizations needing fixed high-performance and low-latency 1/10GbE top-of-rack data center switches for server connectivity
- The HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series includes the HPE Intelligent Resilient Framework which reduces administrative touchpoints by making multiple physical switches appear as a single virtual switch from a management perspective.

Reduce Cost and Simplify Operations While Accelerating Performance
- HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series reduces lock-in and having to replace the hardware. Unlike competitive products based on proprietary technology and closed designs, the HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series top-of-rack products are based on industry standards and an open architecture.
- Removes hidden software expenses; the all-inclusive HPE FlexFabric Switch license includes a complete set of advanced features.
- High-performance IP-attached switching allows the reduction of equipment and operations expense and complexity and delivers fast connectivity for HPE 3PAR, HPE Nimble, HPE SimpliVity or third-party storage arrays.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Servers and Networking are Better Together
- HPE FlexFabric 5710 Switch Series helps accelerate performance, simplify operations and contain costs.
- HPE ProLiant Servers, server networking options, HPE FlexFabric top-of-rack switches, transceivers and cables are designed and tested to work better, together.
- Ability to migrate your compute, storage and networking infrastructure to support the most business critical applications - with confidence.
