HP 10500 Switch Series

The HP 10500 Switch Series sets a new benchmark for performance, reliability, and scalability

with next-generation Clos architecture. Designed for enterprise campus core networks, the

10500 Switch Series enables a cloud-connected and rich-media-capable infrastructure. The

switch series provides industry-leading 10GbE/40GbE port density, 3-microsecond latency, and

very low energy consumption.

With HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology, the scalability and resiliency of the

10500 switch series can be extended and virtualized across up to four chassis with a single

management interface—enabling flatter, more agile networks. This switch series, along with

the entire HP FlexNetwork architecture, can be seamlessly managed through the HP Intelligent

Management Center (IMC), which provides a single-pane-of-glass management view of the

infrastructure.
