The HPE FlexFabric 5980 Switch is a high-performance and low-latency 10GbE top-of-rack (ToR) data center switch with 100 G uplinks. The switch provides a powerful solution for higher performance leaf requirements and is part of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise FlexFabric data center solution, which is a cornerstone of the Cloud-First Reference Architecture (CFRA)

The FlexFabric 5980 Switch is ideally suited for deployment at the server access layer of large enterprise data centers, or at the core layer of smaller enterprises.

With the increased pace of deploying virtualized applications, adopting softwaredefined networking, and the server-to-server traffic, many data centers now require spine and ToR switch innovations that will meet their requirements. The HPE FlexFabric 5980 is optimized to meet the increasing requirements for higher-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic, the capability to handle virtual environments, and low latency.
