Optical Solutions for HP 5820 Switch Series

The requirements of virtualization and cloud trends are changing enterprise business environments, high port density, high throughput and very low latency are bedrock requirements in the data center. The HP 5820 switch series are built to meet these requirements, and help enterprises to reduce operating costs and build agile and resilient enterprises. The HP 5820 switch series are the low-latency and high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ optics and cables. They can serve as a leaf or access top-of-rack 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch in data centers. This article will provide the optical solutions such as fiber optic transceivers and direct attach cables that are supported by HP 5820 switch series.

HP 5820 Switch Series – Built for Enterprise Core, Distribution, Data Center

HP 5820 switch series, namely HP FlexFabric 5820 switch series, is designed to support 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. These switches provide a versatile, high-performance and 1/10GbE top-of-rack data center switch architecture with deployment flexibility. They support advanced features by delivering a unique combination of unmatched 10 GbE, high-availability architecture, full layer 2/3 dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 and line-rate, low-latency performance on all ports. Most importantly, the extensible embedded application capabilities enable these switches to integrate services into the network, consolidating devices and appliances to simplify deployment and reduce power consumption and rack space.

 

There are three models of HP 5820 switch series including HP 5820-14XG-SFP+ switch (JC106B), HP 5820-24XG-SFP+ switch (JC102B) and HP 5820AF-24XG switch (JG219B). These switch models are hot-swappable and support cut-through switching for very low latency. The biggest difference is their disposition of I/O ports.
