HP advances Networking with OpenFlow enabled Switches
HP has announced an OpenFlow-enabled switch portfolio that extends across 16 models, including the HP 3500, 5400 and 8200 series switches, providing customers with the broadest choice in the industry for simplifying network management.
Additionally, HP plans to expand support for OpenFlow across all switches in the HP FlexNetwork architecture this year. Today, customers and partners can access a free upgrade to HP's OpenFlow-enabled software for their HP switches here. Deploying the OpenFlow standard enables enterprises to significantly reduce the complexity of network devices and automate tasks using simplified network management.
"To help enterprises uniformly manage network traffic flow across the data center, HP became an early innovator of the OpenFlow standard, supporting more than 60 universities and research centres in trials, development efforts and practical real-world applications. With over 10 million OpenFlow-capable switch ports deployed and the broadest portfolio currently available on the market, HP is leading the move to the OpenFlow standard and further simplifying networks for our enterprise clients," said Sanjay Jotshi, Director, HP Networking, HP India.
