Reduced complexity

and lower cost of

ownership

Unified network platforms—

core to edge

By sharing the ProVision ASIC, platform architecture,

modules, accessories, software, and management

tools with the award-winning HP ProCurve Switch

5400zl Series, the 8200zl switch series extends a

unified core to edge, wired and wireless solution while

reducing complexity and lowering cost of ownership.

The common ProVision ASIC-based architecture

provides interoperability and predictable behavior

with the 8200zl switch series at the core of a complete

HP ProCurve network solution. Network managers

can take advantage of common networking, security,

QoS, and resiliency features in a highly integrated,

programmable, and flexible architecture to simplify

network operation. Instead of point technologies

with vendor-/platform-specific idiosyncrasies that

result in complex and unproductive management,

HP ProCurve system deployment and even code

image management and maintenance are unified.

The 8200zl switch series shares interface/service

modules, power supplies, and optics/transceivers

with the HP ProCurve Switch 5400zl Series. Not

only does this improve platform flexibility, but it also

enables simplified and lower-cost component sparing

strategies. It also allows current 5400zl customers

to leverage existing investments and migrate cost-

effectively their deployments based on the 8200zl

switch series, resulting in lower operational costs and

streamlined network operations.

Shared network management core to

edge, wired and wireless

By using a set of device-level management tools (CLI,

Web GUI, Menu) common with the 5400zl, 3500,

and 6200yl platforms, the 8200zl switch series

simplifies network-wide management and improves

ongoing management effectiveness and efficiency.

The 8200zl switch series can be deployed and

efficiently managed using HP ProCurve Manager

Plus (PCM+), a suite of device- and network-level

management tools that provide a network-wide

common look and feel, including single-pane-of-glass

network administration. This toolset provides unified
