Hi,

1. HP includes H3C/3Com

2. So, let´s look at H3C homepage:

Here we are: S5830, which could be the next A5830:

But hey, what´s this? Does A5500-EI gets a refresh? Possible, who knows? Here is a S5500-EI-D

Perhaps someone knows more?

Hi Michael

All H3C Switches will be tested in China before HP desides if they will be launched in Europa/America.

A5830 is similar to A5800 with 48 or 96 Gbit/s ports and a few 10G ports. It has two powersupplys and switchable front/back, back/front airflow. It's made for datacenter top of rack and will be launched in september/october in EMEA.

I never heard of a new/extended release of S5500/A5500
