HP JC100A 5800-24G 24-Port + 4-Port SFP+ Layer 3 Switch

Product Description

The HP JC100A, model 5800-24G, is a high-performance Layer 3 switch designed for demanding enterprise network environments. It offers 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting end devices like servers, workstations, and IP phones, along with four SFP+ ports that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed uplinks to core switches or other high-bandwidth network segments. This combination provides a versatile and powerful solution for network aggregation and data center access layers. As a Layer 3 switch, the JC100A supports advanced routing protocols, enabling intelligent traffic management and network segmentation. Its non-blocking architecture ensures that all ports can operate at full wire speed simultaneously, delivering a switching capacity of 128 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 95.2 million packets per second. This performance is critical for applications that require low latency and high throughput, such as virtualization, storage area networks (SANs), and converged network infrastructures. The 5800-24G is a fully managed switch, providing administrators with extensive control over network operations. It includes features such as Virtual LANs (VLANs) for network segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, robust security features like access control lists (ACLs), and support for dynamic routing protocols. Its design makes it an excellent choice for building scalable, resilient, and high-performance networks in enterprise campuses, data centers, and service provider environments.
