Cisco and HP have worked together to develop an affordable, high-performance and scalable switch to bring the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switches to the HP BladeSystem c-Class blade server enclosure.


Available in two configurations, the 3120G and 3120X for HP, these switches are the next-generation Ethernet blade switch for the HP c-Class BladeSystem.
