The HPE Advanced Services zl Module with VMware vSphere is an industry-standard open architecture platform that is capable of hosting one or multiple applications within a networking infrastructure. The solution has its own processor, storage, network interfaces, and memory - all of which are interconnected with a network switch ASIC on a single platform that hosts a virtualized environment. This helps the platform to deliver outstanding switching and multiapplication performance while reducing physical footprint, lowering power consumption, and consolidating management. The HPE Advanced Services zl Module virtualized platform is installed into a HPE 5400 zl or 8200 zl series switch. Using virtualization management tools, applications and services can be installed and configured remotely. With this high degree of flexibility, IT organizations can quickly deploy extended application monitoring to virtually any branch office location.
