    HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches
    Considered Both Products
    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    Chose HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches
    Compared to Cisco, HPE was easier to get support contracts and customer service was far more helpful. Aruba is part of HP but the Aruba line cannot stack up to the Flexfabric in a high-performance data center environment.

    Chose HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches
    Aruba line cannot compete with the HPE FlexFabric, we got nowhere close to the performance when using the Aruba and the Aruba had a couple fan failures.

    Likelihood to Recommend
    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    The switch is intuitive and very simple to configure so I would recommend it to anyone for their data center. It allows for someone who might just be a server expert and not a switching expert to have a far simpler time than would normally be expected.
