The chassis-based HP 5400 Switch Series and
stackable 3500 series are next-generation Layer 3/4
intelligent switches, offering unprecedented adaptive
intelligence, versatility, and operational excellence to
meet current and future networking demands.
All the members of the 5400 and 3500 Switch Series
are built on the ProVision ASIC, the newest ASIC
innovation developed by HP Labs. The ProVision ASIC
gives the 5400 and 3500 Switch Series wire-speed
policy enforcement, resiliency, ASIC programmability,
and high-level integration.
The 5400 and 3500 Switch Series offer unparalleled
adaptability. The 5400 and 3500 series provides for
future-proof flexibility with available versatile intelligent
ports, combining the capabilities of the ProVision ASIC
with the unparalleled performance of 10/100/1000
ports and integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE and
PoE+); thereby setting a new standard for versatility
and scalability. The HP 5400 Switch Series chassis
and stackable 3500 series can provide from 24 to 288
10/100/1000 PoE ports per switch, with identical
features, performance, and lifetime warranty.

In addition, these new intelligent switches deliver
enhanced efficiency, ease of management, and
investment protection. These switches are highly
energy efficient and offer up to 45 percent energy cost
savings according to Miercom (www.miercom.com), an
independent test lab. With v2 zl Modules and bundles,
HP is further pushing innovation in the platform. These
modules are 20 percent to 40 percent

more energy
efficient than first-generation modules, support Energy
Efficient Ethernet (EEE) (802.1ae), offer 10GBase-T
connectivity, and double the 10G density to scale up
to 96 ports per chassis.
Responding to real-world needs
Enterprise businesses are demanding more from
their networking infrastructures. Specifically, today’s
organizations need to protect their information assets;
support an increasingly mobile workforce; and allow
for online collaboration and distributed computing
capabilities. Also, they need to integrate control or
bandwidth-intensive applications such as Voice
over IP (VoIP), Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN), and
video streaming and prepare for future technologies with
a highly scalable and flexible infrastructure.
