Description

The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5945 is a family of high-density, ultra-low-latency top-of-rack (ToR) switches designed for large enterprise data centers and telecom environments. Ideal for aggregation or server access layers, these switches deliver exceptional performance and scalability—and are powerful enough for core deployments in medium-sized enterprises. As virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic grow, data centers need spine and ToR switches that meet demanding throughput requirements. The 5945 series supports up to 100GbE per port, enabling high-performance server connectivity and seamless handling of virtual environments. With cut-through switching, wire-speed performance, and ultra-low latency, the 5945 series offers flexible options for port density and speeds, including 100GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE, and 10GbE, to fit your budget and IT environment.

What is new supporting point:
High-density spine and top-of-rack (ToR) connectivity with 100GbE/40GbE/25GbE/10GbE support, plus cut-through switching for low-latency, wire-speed performance
New 32G and 16G Fibre Channel support for storage networking, plus ROCE v1/v2 for RDMA-based high-performance computing, along with VXLAN, EVPN, and MPLS capabilities for virtualized environments
Greater flexibility with two-slot or four-slot options for use cases such as MACsec 256-bit encryption, high-performance data center leaf deployments, storage networking, and NVMe storage
IPv4 and IPv6 support with a full Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature set, plus PTP 1588v2 for boundary clock, transparent clock, end-to-end, or peer-to-peer synchronization.
