HP ProCurve 8212 ZL 12-Slot J9641A

HP's J9641A chassis provides the modular foundation for network cores that consolidate many uplinks and need headroom for future growth. It is part of the HP 8200zl Series, running ProVision.

It has 12 slots for line cards, supervisor or management modules, depending on configuration. Interface and management modules are installed separately, so you can tailor port types and density to the network. Line cards, supervisors, power supplies and fan trays may be sold separately. Check the configuration you need before ordering. Redundant power and management options are common on modular platforms. Chassis-based switching is a common choice for campus cores and large aggregation layers. A chassis protects your investment by letting you upgrade modules over time.

Network administrators get granular control over traffic, security and monitoring through its management interfaces. With Layer 4 features it can route traffic between subnets locally for a more efficient, scalable design. The ProVision platform provides a proven foundation for configuration, automation and monitoring.

Its rack-mountable form factor fits neatly into equipment rooms, cabinets or workspaces. This HP model supports resilient designs with multiple uplinks and failover paths. A capable aggregation layer keeps performance consistent as demand rises. Use the manufacturer part number J9641A to make sure you order exactly the configuration you need. Bandwidth and routing at the distribution layer are key to a scalable design. As an aggregation or core switch it consolidates traffic from access switches and links it to servers and the WAN edge. Choose the HP J9641A when you need modular chassis switching you can rely on.
