ProCurve Networking announced the availability of a high-performance network core switch, the ProCurve Switch 8212zl.

ProCurve Networking, a business unit of HP and a leading supplier of enterprise networking solutions, announced the availability of a high-performance network core switch, the ProCurve Switch 8212zl. The core switch completes ProCurve's core-to-edge network solution that unifies network technology, infrastructure, software, operation, management and support while reducing complexity and lowering costs.

The ProCurve Switch 8212zl is targeted at enterprise customers and comes with ProCurve's lifetime warranty. The switch is based on HP-developed ProVision ASIC technology, a highly integrated architecture that delivers redundancy and resiliency.

ProCurve also announced the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module that adds centralized wireless local area network (WLAN) configuration, management and advanced wireless services to the 8212zl core switch and 5400zl edge switch family.

"ProCurve's Adaptive Networks vision gives global companies the

flexibility to grow their infrastructure in line with their business needs by enabling them to quickly adapt to new applications, fortify network security, increase productivity and reduce complexity," said Amol Mitra, Director of Marketing, ProCurve Networking APAC&Japan. "The new 8212zl core switch further substantiates this vision by unifying the core-to-edge infrastructure, providing the ideal foundation for a network that is secure, highly available and cost-effective to deploy and maintain."

ProCurve also provides lifetime software and firmware updates for its product line, which reduce the risk of unanticipated costs for incremental feature enhancements and bug fixes.
