Key features• Advanced, next-generation Clos architecture• More than 11 terabits-per-second switching capacity• Feature-rich switch with IPv6 and MPLS functionality• HP IRF technology virtualizes up to 4 chassis• Ultra-high 1/10/40/100GbE density, including wirespeed on all portsProduct overviewHP 10500 Switch Series sets a new benchmark for performance, reliability, and scalability withnext-generation Clos architecture. Designed for enterprise campus core networks, the 10500Switch Series enables a cloud-connected and rich-media-capable infrastructure. The switchseries provides industry-leading 10GbE/40GbE/100GbE port density, 3-microsecond latency,and very low energy consumption.With HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology, the scalability and resiliency ofthe 10500 Switch Series can be extended and virtualized across up to 4 chassis with a singlemanagement interface—enabling flatter, more agile networks. This switch series, along withthe entire HP FlexNetwork architecture, can be seamlessly managed through the HP IntelligentManagement Center (IMC), which provides a single-pane-of-glass management view of theinfrastructure.Data sheetHP 10500 Switch Series
