The HP FlexFabric 5930 is a 4-slot modular data center switch that runs Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing on HP's Comware OS. Its four interface slots take 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE line cards, so one chassis can serve as a spine or a dense top-of-rack leaf. It is built for network engineers who want a fixed-form chassis with redundant power and fans rather than a stack of fixed switches. Against fixed 1U rivals it offers more ports per unit and card-level flexibility, but it is heavier, deeper and louder, and it is a mature platform rather than a current one.
