JH397-61001 HP FlexFabric 5940 2-Slot 40 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 1U Rack-mounable Network Switch

HP FlexFabric 5940 2-Slot JH397-61001

Looking for a managed Layer 3 40GbE switch you can rely on? The HP JH397-61001 (FlexFabric 5940 2-Slot) is a strong choice for data center and high-density server rooms where east-west traffic and port density are priorities. It belongs to a family built for high-performance aggregation and data center switching.

40GbE connectivity keeps file transfers, backups and applications responsive. Standards-based Ethernet ensures interoperability with routers, firewalls, servers and endpoints from other vendors.

Managed switching provides the visibility and control that business networks need as they grow. Its Layer 3 feature set supports inter-VLAN routing, so traffic between departments does not have to travel to a separate router. The Comware platform provides a proven foundation for configuration, automation and monitoring. Applying vendor firmware updates, where offered, is good practice for security and reliability. Reserving specific ports for uplinks keeps your design clear as the network grows. As a central connection point, it links users with applications, storage and online services. Switching sends each frame only where it needs to go, which keeps the network efficient. Reliable switching underpins every connected service, from email and file sharing to voice and video.

Physically, it uses a 1U rack-mountable format for a clean, organized installation. Adequate airflow around the unit helps it run reliably for years. It lets you grow the network in steps rather than replacing everything at once. Low latency and high port density make it suitable for virtualization, storage traffic and east-west workloads. It provides the bandwidth that today's virtual machines, containers and storage platforms demand. In a leaf-spine design, high-speed ports connect servers at the leaf while uplinks provide bandwidth to the spine. Order the JH397-61001 today to add HP E 5800/5900 switching to your infrastructure.
