The vision and architecture of HP for delivering on these
needs is the HP Adaptive Network Architecture, which
places control of the network at the edge, closest to
the users—and the best location for enforcing network
policies. Controlling traffic at this level requires switches
with truly adaptive intelligence. It also requires levels
of versatility and operational excellence that go well
beyond the norms of the past.
The 5400 and 3500 Switch Series provide a rich
set of platform and software features that make them
well suited for enterprise edge, distribution/aggregation
layer, and small core deployments. Bringing these
features together under a common ASIC architecture,
unified software, and a unified set of easy-to-use
management tools means that the 5400 and 3500
Switch Series deliver unparalleled flexibility along
with lower total cost of ownership and ongoing
management costs.
HP 5400 and 3500 Switch Series
The HP 5400 and 3500 Switch Series deliver
intelligence, versatility, and operational excellence. The
members of this family of intelligent switches share a
number of important features, including the following:
•Unified Adaptive Network Architecture: The Unified
Adaptive Network Architecture offers industry-leading
scalability and features in unified software
applications, wired and wireless management
infrastructure. The 5400 and 3500 Switch Series
provide the intelligent switching technology needed
for security control and authentication, bandwidth
shaping, data prioritization, advanced routing, WLAN
management, and deep-packet inspection—in short,
true control of your network.
•ProVision ASIC: The latest, in-house ProVision ASIC
designed by HP delivers high-end, wire-speed
capabilities and intelligence to the 5400 and 3500
Switch Series. The ProVision ASIC integrates
sophisticated switching functionality in a single,
high-reliability, and high-performance chip. With
the HP Identity Driven Manager (IDM) software that
provides automated access control with improved
security, the new 5400 and 3500 Switch Series
offer the ability to enforce per user policies at wire
speed enhancing the capabilities of the Adaptive
Network Architecture. The new v2 zl modules built
with second generation advanced ASICs continue the
HP winning streak of delivering significant technology
improvements. The v2 zl modules deliver double
the 10G density while reducing power consumption
by 20–30 percent,

together with hardware support
for advanced capabilities such as Virtual Routing and
Forwarding (VRF) lite, policy-based routing (PBR), and
better buffering.
•Scalability and versatility: Based on the
same ProVision ASIC architecture and common
software feature set, the 5400 and 3500
Switch Series products can provide from 24 to
288 10/100 Gigabit PoE ports per switch,
allowing them to be deployed in a wide variety of
network environments.
