- HP JL165A#ABA | Altoline 6940 Series 6940 32QSFP+ 32 x 40GbE QSFP+ Ports x86 ONIE AC Front-to-Back Airflow Layer 3 Managed Switch
- HP Altoline 6940 32QSFP+ (JL165A#ABA) shows up a lot in shortlists for organizations running virtualization clusters, NAS arrays or render farms that need low-latency, high-bandwidth links, and for good reason. Data centers and server rooms running virtualization hosts, NAS/SAN backbones, render farms or AI/ML training nodes are the natural fit, since all of them move heavy traffic between servers. It also works well aggregating traffic from smaller access-layer switches. Wiring is handled by 32 total network ports, laid out as 32x40 Gigabit EthernetQSFP+, topping out at 40GbE per port. It also adds QSFP+ expansion for uplinks. Onboard flash storage of 8 (GB) keeps firmware and config backups local to the switch. Layer 3 routing handles inter-VLAN traffic and static or dynamic routes on the switch itself. Mounting is straightforward: rack-mount, in a 1U footprint, standard 19-inch rails, ac input power, and front-to-rear airflow that lines up with typical rack airflow planning. Also, built-in console access plus a USB port makes setup and firmware recovery easier; optical fiber media over QSFP+ covers both copper and fiber runs. GotoDirect sources this HP Altoline switch as a genuine, warranty-backed unit, with fast shipping across the US.
