The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series is a family of high-density, ultra-low-latency Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches that are part of the HPE FlexFabric solution for the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) FlexNetwork architecture.

The HPE FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series is ideal for deployment at the server access layer of medium or large enterprise data centers, but it's still efficient enough for deployment at the data center core layer of medium-sized businesses. Customers now need ToR switch innovations that will satisfy their needs for higher-performance server networking, integration of Ethernet and storage traffic, the ability to manage virtual environments, and ultra-low-latency all in a single system, thanks to the rise of virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic.
