Data Center Networking Equipment and Solutions

I have implemented most of the HPE FlexFabric switches for multiple customers. The primary requirement was higher switching capacity and reliable OS, on top of that IRF stacking technology is excellent to have an error-free configuration and long-lasting reliability.

Consistent upgrades and updates considering the breaches spreading in the network.
Interoperability with third party software.

Multiple variation within the product range.

It's a robust and rugged eco system so ROI is much higher than any other product.
To compete the competition, still much more to do.

Director of Infrastructure

I work at a University and we currently use HPE FlexFabric to connect our core infrastructure at our data center as well as our backup data center. We use it as a higher switching capacity than the Aruba switch it replaced.

Low latency.
High availability.
10GbE internet.

Performs well under stress, it is the core of our data center for over 3 years without any failures.
Simplified our topology in our data center.

We use it for our primary and secondary data centers and they are very reliable and support 10GbE which we use. It also supports 40GbE which we are trying to implement.

SCSI support.
No additional license to unlock features.
High availability.

Management tools, we use SolarWinds and had some trouble managing the devices.
Interoperability with 3rd party switches had some interface issues with connecting to Juniper switches.

10GbE internet.
40GbE internet.
Low latency.

Easy to manage as we are an HP shop, so it works well with our other HP blades and switches.
Works well on heavy load, has been working continuously for over 3 years without error.
