HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches
Considered Both Products
HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches
Chose HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches
Aruba line cannot compete with the HPE FlexFabric, we got nowhere close to the performance when using the Aruba and the Aruba had a couple fan failures.
Chose HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches
Compared to Cisco, HPE was easier to get support contracts and customer service was far more helpful. Aruba is part of HP but the Aruba line cannot stack up to the Flexfabric in a high-performance data center environment.
Chose HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches
Compared to the competition, FlexFabric products are easy to describe to the customer and post-sales management is simple.
Chose HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches
HPE FlexNetwork 5510 HI delivers outstanding resiliency, security, and multiservice support while Aruba is more suitable for mobile network support

Likelihood to Recommend
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
The switch is intuitive and very simple to configure so I would recommend it to anyone for their data center. It allows for someone who might just be a server expert and not a switching expert to have a far simpler time than would normally be expected.
