Large corporate data centers can use the 5940 Switch at the aggregation or server access layer, and medium-sized enterprises can use it at the core layer. It's designed for high-performance server networking, Ethernet and storage traffic convergence, and virtualized environments.

The HPE FlexFabric 5940 Switch Series provides high-density 48 x 10GbE (SFP or BASE-T) with 6 x 40GbE ports, 48 x 10GbE (SFP or BASE-T) with 6 x 100GbE ports, and 32 x 40GbE ports in a 1RU configuration, allowing customers to scale their server-edge 10/40/100GbE ToR deployments.

A 2-slot modular version with 2 40GbE ports and a 4-slot modular version with 4 40GbE ports are also available for the HPE FlexFabric 5940 Switch Series. HPE FlexFabric Network Analytics is included with the HPE 5940 Switch Series, and when used in combination with the HPE IMC Virtual Application Networking Fabric Manager, it provides real-time visibility of microburst network congestion, which has a negative effect on overall network operations and performance.
