Description
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325-48Y8C Switch is a high-performance, enterprise-grade Layer 3 switch designed for campus core, aggregation, and data center top-of-rack (ToR) or end-of-row (EoR) deployments. Featuring 48 ports of 10/25G SFP+/SFP28 and 8 ports of 40/100G QSFP+/QSFP28, this switch delivers massive switching capacity of up to 6.4 Tbps and 2000 Mpps forwarding rate.
Powered by the ArubaOS-CX operating system, this switch supports advanced automation, programmability (via REST APIs and Python), and built-in network analytics through Aruba's Network Analytics Engine (NAE). With front-to-back airflow, redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans, and a compact 1U form factor, it is optimized for modern network demands and scalable infrastructures.
Ideal for mobile-first, cloud, and IoT-ready environments, the CX 8325-48Y8C provides resilient and intelligent networking for demanding workloads.
