HPE JG336A

FlexFabric 5900AF Ethernet Switch (48×10 GbE RJ-45 + 4×40 GbE QSFP+)

The HPE JG336A FlexFabric 5900AF Ethernet Switch is a powerful, ultra-low-latency Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch designed for modernenterprise and data center environments. It provides 48 high-speed 10 GbE RJ-45 ports and four 40 GbE QSFP+ uplink ports, making it ideal for consolidating servers and aggregating traffic in dense deployments. Equipped with full L2/L3 feature support, IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack, and advanced switching protocols such as IRF, FCoE, TRILL, and DCB, the JG336A delivers exceptional network convergence and virtualization readiness Perfect for environments demanding scalable, resilient, and high-performance switching, this 1U rack-mountable unit offers robust manageability and automation capabilities suited for data center and core-layer use cases.

Features

Operating within sleek 1U form factor, the HPE JG336A packs massive throughput into compact racks, making it an excellent choice for server access layers in large enterprise data centers. With a switching capacity of 1.28 Tbps and forwarding performance up to 952 Mpps, it meets the rigorous demands of bandwidth-intensive applications . The cutting-through, wire-speed architecture delivers consistently low latency—especially under 1.5 µs for 10 GbE traffic Advanced features such as Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) allow up to nine switches to function as a unified virtual device—streamlining management and greatly reducing operational complexity 

Advanced Options

The switch's Comware 7 operating system delivers modular, high-availability software with support for In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), letting admins apply updates without service interruptions . It also supports virtualization and converged networking standards like DCB, FCoE, TRILL, and SPB for robust data center integration and efficiency Engineered for enterprise-grade reliability and performance, the HPE  JG336A ensures consistent high-speed delivery with robust hardware redundancy and efficient thermal design. The switch supports 1+1 hot-pluggable power supplies and dual fan trays (front-to-back or back-to-front airflow), reinforcing data center cooling strategies and ensuring resilience in deployment Delivered in a compact 1U rack-mount design, its dense port array maximizes connectivity without expanding footprint.
