HP has launched a new portfolio of OpenFlow-enabled switches, in a bid to help customers simplify network management.
The switch portfolio extends across 16 models, including the HP 3500, 5400 and 8200 series switches, giving businesses a broad choice of solutions.
HP is aiming to expand support for OpenFlow across all switches in the HP FlexNetwork architecture this year, meeting a full range of bandwidth, performance and budgetary needs.
Using the OpenFlow standard, network managers are able to significantly reduce the complexity of network devices and automate tasks.
Sanjay Jotshi, a director at HP Networking, described the firm as "an early innovator of the OpenFlow standard", which helps enterprises uniformly manage network traffic flow across the data centre.
The firm supported more than 60 universities and research centres in trials, development efforts and practical real-world applications, he noted.
"With over ten million OpenFlow-capable switch ports deployed and the broadest portfolio currently available on the market, HP is leading the move to the OpenFlow standard and further simplifying networks for our enterprise clients," Mr Jotshi said.
