Overview
The HPE 10500 Switch Series is an enterprise campus core switch designed to meet the evolving needs of a cloud-connected and rich-media-capable infrastructure. It sets a benchmark for performance, reliability, and scalability with powerful Clos architecture (multistage switching network), offers 3-microsecond latency, delivers ultra-high 1/10/40GbE port density and supports 100GbE.  With HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology, the 10500 Switch Series can be virtualized across four chassis with a single management interface-enabling flatter, more agile networks.
  • The HPE 10500 Switch Series provides a high-speed, fully distributed Clos architecture (multistage switching network) with up to 11.52 Tbps switching capacity and up to 13.72 Tbps switching fabric capacity to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications today and in the future.
  • The HPE 10500 Switch Series delivers a Clos architecture (multistage switching network) simplifying large-scale switching architecture deployements, reducing possible fault points, and providing stronger defense capabilities.
  • The HPE 10500 Switch Series includes a robust set of security and quality of services features to build a highly trusted network that meets your ever-changing corporate policies and compliances.
  • The HPE FlexNetwork 10500 Switch Series can be managed as a part of a larger network with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Software.
Performance, Reliability and Future-proof Scalability for the Campus No hidden costs with license-free Layer 2 and 3 feature set including IPv6, MPLS functionality, and robust Quality of Service (QoS). Optimized Architecture for a Cloud-connected and Media-rich Network Open application architecture enables fully-integrated high-performance application-specific modules. Robust Security and QoS Controls Included with 10500 Series Switches are a powerful set of multilevel-access security controls, such as varying security management login, RADIUS, SSH, TACACS/TACACS+, to protect and control change management access. Single Management View of the Network IMC supports port and traffic mirroring, RMON and sFlow.
