HPE JC613A FlexNetwork 10504 Switch Chassis

Detailed Specifications

The HPE JC613A is the FlexNetwork 10504 Switch Chassis, a modular platform engineered for the core of enterprise campus networks. It is designed to address the escalating demands of cloud-connected infrastructures and rich-media applications by providing a scalable and highly resilient foundation. This chassis solves the critical need for a high-performance, low-latency network core that can handle significant bandwidth and simplify complex network architectures. At its core, the 10504 chassis utilizes a high-speed, fully distributed Clos architecture. This advanced design ensures non-blocking performance and exceptional resiliency, which is crucial for maintaining uptime in mission-critical environments. Features like HPE's Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology allow up to four chassis to be virtualized into a single switching and routing fabric, dramatically simplifying network management and improving agility. This capability enables a flatter network design that is both easier to manage and scale. Intended for deployment in a standard 19-inch rack, the 8U chassis provides a robust physical housing for various I/O modules and power supplies. It serves as the central aggregation point for the campus network, managed through HPE's Intelligent Management Center (IMC) for a unified view of the entire infrastructure. This single-pane-of-glass management simplifies configuration, policy enforcement, and overall network monitoring.
