Networking Application

Typical Application in Large Campus Networks

In a medium-to-large-sized enterprise or campus network, the S5120-EI series Ethernet switches serve as access switches, providing
high-performance and large-capacity switching service. The S5120-EI series Ethernet switches also support 10GE upstream ports to provide larger
bandwidth for access devices. Additionally, the core layer, convergence layer, and high-performance access layer of the whole network employs
H3C’s innovative IRF technology so that multiple devices are virtualized into one logical device without changing the original network topology. This,
simplifies the network topology, services, and management, multiplies the enhancement in 1:N reliability, and significantly improves the performance
5 H3C S5120-EI

of the network.

Typical Application in DCs

H3C deploys the S12500 series switches based on a 100G platform at the core of DCs, the S12500 or S9500E/S7500E at the convergence layer,
multi-service cards integrated with firewall and load balancing functions to guarantee security and balance traffic, and S5120C-EI series at the
access layer, to deliver a high-density GE server access solution.
