HP ProCurve launches Green-Certified 2910 Series

Designed for enterprise, the new switches support Power-over-Ethernet Plus and 10 gigabit

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 18 March 2009 – HP ProCurve today announced the Green-Certified 2910 Switch Series to address the high-performance demands of bandwidth-intensive applications such as unified communications, Voice-over-IP (VoIP), network storage, video streaming as well as large databases. The new series is also one of the industry’s first to offer the option of PoE+ (Power-over-Ethernet Plus) based on IEEE 802.3at standard(1). PoE+ provides higher levels of power for devices such as 802.11n wireless access points, VoIP phones and new PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) security cameras.

The HP ProCurve 2910 eco-friendly switches have received the Miercom Certified Green Distinction Award. They are designed to reduce power usage and offer 23% energy cost savings when compared to the industry average, based on typical usage cost.(2)

The new 2910 series features four gigabit enterprise-class switches with 10 gigabit (10G) options and are ideal for deployment at converged enterprise edge, data center top-of-rack and remote branch offices. The 10G ports are scalable and flexible (SFP+ and/or CX4) allowing for resilient server/uplink connectivity. HP ProCurve has announced three 10G modules for the 24-port 2910 switches.

The new switches are aligned with HP ProCurve’s Adaptive Networks vision, enabling customers to rapidly adapt to changing needs of applications, users and the organizations. They are standards-based and offer interoperability in multi-vendor network environments.
