Description
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300-32D is a next-generation high-performance, high-density 1U fixed configuration switch built for modern enterprise data centers and cloud-scale environments. Featuring 32 QSFP-DD ports supporting 100/200/400GbE, and 2 SFP+ ports supporting 1/10GbE, this switch delivers an aggregate switching capacity of 25.6Tbps, optimized for EVPN-VXLAN spine-leaf architectures.
Ideal for software-defined storage, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), and massive server farms, the CX 9300-32D offers seamless scalability, energy efficiency, and intelligent analytics. Enhanced with Aruba Fabric Composer, Network Analytics Engine (NAE), and VSX, it ensures streamlined automation, visibility, and resiliency.
This switch supports breakout configurations (e.g., 1x400GbE to 4x100GbE), reducing port oversubscription and improving server connectivity flexibility. Designed for mission-critical performance, it also features redundant power, hot-swappable fans, and a lifetime limited warranty.
