Executive summary

HP ProCurve Networking has an extensive line of networking products built around the concept of the HP ProCurve Adaptive EDGE Architecture™ (AEA) that provides the security, mobility, and convergence capabilities that businesses demand while giving IT administrators the ability to adapt to the changing needs of their organizations and control their infrastructure centrally.

This guide describes the HP ProCurve Switch 5400zl, 3500yl, and 6200yl series which are built upon the principles of the Adaptive EDGE Architecture, bringing intelligence and performance to the Edge in a cost-effective way and providing a platform for delivering the full Intelligent Edge capability. The foundation for these switches is a purpose-built ProVision™ ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as quality of service (QoS) and security, to be implemented in a scalable yet granular fashion. With a high-performance architecture, 10-GbE capability, and programmable ASIC, these switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability.
