HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions — Question 33

A customer is requesting new leaf switches for their 40-server virtualization farm. Their servers are currently equipped with 25GbE NICs.
Which switch family should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. HPE FlexFabric 5710 24SFP+ 6S+
• B. HPE FlexFabric 12916E Switch with QSFP28 HB modules
• C. HPE FlexFabric 5945 48SFP28 8QSFP28
• D. HPE FlexFabric 5710 48XGT 2QSF28

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The HPE FlexFabric 5945 48SFP28 8QSFP28 switch is the best choice because it supports higher bandwidth and is compatible with 25GbE NICs, providing the necessary throughput for the virtualization farm. The other options either do not support the required bandwidth or lack the necessary port types for optimal performance in this scenario.
