HP ProCurve is expected to launch several new wiring closet, LAN aggregation and core switch products this week targeted
at organizations requiring combinations of Gigabit, Power over Ethernet, and switch-based traffic management and security
features.
The ProCurve Switch 5400 switch chassis and Switch 3500 stackable switch include triple-speed Ethernet ports and PoE, as well
as new network processors that let the devices operate faster when running services such as QoS, network access control or
other policy-enforcing actions.
