Product features
Modern, Scalable and Distributed Architecture
The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 12900E provides non-blocking, lossless Clos architecture with VOQs and large buffers with the flexibility and scalability for future growth.
Distributed architecture with separation of data and control planes delivers enhanced fault tolerance and facilitates continuous operation and zero service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events.
To meet the demands of next-generation networks, a new generation of OS-Comware v9 has been introduced that provides rich new features built on a modular and open architecture, supports containerized deployment and can run third-party software applications.
In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) provides an upgrade of the entire chassis, or an individual task or process, with zero packet loss.
It provides 2x scalability with H2 modules at the same price per port of HB modules.
High-Performance Switch Series with Broad Interface Options
The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 12900E provides the Layer 2 and Layer 3 fabrics which are flexible, resilient, and scalable with VXLAN support and sub-second convergence times.
High-density 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE,100GbE and 400GbE interface connectivity with up to 16 interface module slots scales up to 768 1GbE/10GbE/40GbE ports, 576 100GbE ports and 192 400GbE ports.
It delivers up to 184 Tbps (bi-directional) switching capacity and 92.1 Bpps throughput with nonblocking wirespeed performance and up to six fabric modules for a distributed scalable fabric architecture.
Optimized for the Next-Generation Data Center
The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 12900E provides the Layer 2 fabrics which are flexible, resilient, and scalable with VXLAN, TRILL and/or HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF).
Type X modules that offer automation capabilities with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Orchestrator and Analyzer, streaming telemetry support with Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) and up to 16K multicast group support.
Enhanced HPE Multitenant Device Context (MDC) for multi-tenancy gives the ability to virtualize a physical switch into multiple logical device.
Network and storage convergence with support for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center Bridging (DCB) protocols includes IEEE 802.1Qaz Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), and IEEE 802.1Qbb Priority Flow Control (PFC).
Enterprise-Class Availability and Resiliency with Broad Layer 2 and Layers 3 Feature Set
The Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) creates virtual resilient switching fabrics where two HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 12900E perform as a single Layer 2 switch and Layer 3 router that can be attached using standard LACP for automatic load balancing and high availability.
This switch series offers hot-swappable modules and redundant load-sharing fabrics, management, power and high-speed fan assemblies which provides you with optimum network performance and availability while simplifying your network operations.
Comprehensive switching, routing and service provider feature set with full IPv4/IPv6, ACLs, QoS, MPLS/VPLS and multicast capabilities is offered.
