6127XLG Ethernet Blade Switch excels. The HPE 6127XLG Switch is designed to support virtualized server environments with
exceptional bandwidth of 20Gb to each and every server, while providing a mix of 40Gb and 10Gb links (with an astounding
aggregate of 240Gb) to the core network. Combined with hardware support for VXLAN encapsulation, this provides the perfect
switch for Private/Public/Hybrid Cloud applications. Enterprise customers will not be disappointed with the HPE 6127XLG which
also provides a converged fabric solution that supports Ethernet, iSCSI, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel
Forwarder (FCF) protocols that enables connectivity for multiple storage topologies. The HPE 6127XLG supports the HPE
Software-defined Network (SDN) ecosystem that delivers simple, open, and Enterprise ready benefits to automate the data center
network. With support for IETF industry standard TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) and SPB (Shortest Path
Bridging), the HPE 6127XLG delivers loop free large Layer 2 networks with multi-path support. Using The Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Intelligent Resilient Framework, (IRF) multiple switches can be virtualized and managed as a single entity with The
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Intelligent Management Center (IMC). A full complement of Layer 2/3 protocols and the latest in
