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
