Product overview
The HP 5900 Switch Series is a family of high-density 10 GbE ultra-low latency top-of-rack (ToR) switches. The 5900 series is part of
the HP FlexFabric solution module of the HP FlexNetwork architecture. The 5900 switch is ideally suited for deployment at the server
access layer of large enterprise data centers. It is also designed for deployment at the data center core layer of medium-sized
enterprises. With the increase in virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic, customers now require ToR switch innovations
that will meet their needs for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic, the capability to
handle virtual environments, and ultra-low latency all in a single device.

: creates traffic classes based on access control lists (ACLs), IEEE 802.1p precedence, IP, DSCP or Type
of Service (ToS) precedence; supports filter, redirect, mirror, or remark; supports the following congestion actions:
strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), weighted random early discard
(WRED), weighted deficit round robin (WDRR), and SP+WDRR Data center optimized

Flexible 10 GbE high port density
: the 5900AF switch enables customers to scale their server-edge 10 GbE ToR deployments
to new heights with high-density 48 x 10 GbE ports delivered in a 1RU design; the high server port density is backed by 4 x 40
GbE uplinks to deliver availability of needed bandwidth for demanding applications; the 5900AF switch can also be
configured as a 64 x 10 GbE port device by using a 40G-to-10 GbE splitter cable that turns each 40 GbE port into four 10-
GbE ports

High-performance 10 GbE switching
: the 5900AF switch's cut-through and nonblocking architecture delivers industry-leading
low latency (~1 microsecond) and very demanding enterprise applications; the switch delivers a 1.28 Tbps switching capacity
and 952.32 Mpps packet forwarding rate in addition to incorporating 9 MB of packet buffers

Multiple use support
: the 5900AF switch provides the industry's only support for multiple use cases in a single ToR switch; it
delivers ultra-low latency (~1 microsecond) IP switching with all features enabled, and provides server edge storage plus
Ethernet convergence with DCB today and FCoE (in future)

Higher scalability
: HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology radically simplifies the architecture of server access
networks; the HP 5900AF family can deliver unmatched scalability of virtualized access layer switches; in addition, the HP
series delivers FlexFabric flatter, two-tier networks using IRF that reduce cost and complexity
