Description
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360-48Y6C v2 is a next-generation Layer 3 managed switch built for modern enterprise campus cores and dynamic data center environments. Offering a compact 1U form factor, this high-performance switch features 44x 1/10/25GbE SFP28 ports, 4x 10/25GbE SFP28 ports with MACsec, and 6x 40/100GbE QSFP28 uplinks—2 of which support MACsec. Powered by Aruba's AOS-CX network operating system and Network Analytics Engine (NAE), the switch provides up to 4.8 Tbps of switching capacity with advanced telemetry, intelligent automation, and zero-downtime upgrades.
Ideal for organizations migrating from legacy 1/10GbE to faster 25/100GbE infrastructure, it includes advanced Layer 3 routing protocols, software-defined orchestration with Aruba Fabric Composer, and high availability via Aruba VSX. Designed for maximum uptime, security, and scalability, this switch is the core of cloud-native, mission-critical networks.
