Aruba Networking CX 9300-32D 32-port 100/200/400G QSFP-DD 2-port 10G Switch

Introduction

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series provides 25.6Tbps, 1U fixed configuration that supports 32 ports of 100/400GbE. This series is designed to provide flexible, cost-effective, high-density 400GbE for servers, storage, and intra-fabric connectivity. The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series protects enterprises’ investment as they transition server farms from 10GbE and 25GbE to 100GbE/400GbE EVPN-VXLAN spine configurations, with reduced power and a smaller footprint. It supports large data center pods of up to 6,000 x 25G servers or up to 2,000 x 100G servers. This is an significant jump in scaling/density over current HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325-32C, which scales to 700 x 25G servers.

What is new supporting point:
HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer greatly simplifies the automation, orchestration, and end-end visibility of the network fabric underlay and virtualized overlay.
25.6Tbps, 1U fixed configuration supporting 32 ports of 100/400GbE. Designed to provide flexible, cost-effective, high-density 10-400GbE for servers, storage, and intra-fabric connectivity.
Introducing new HPE Aruba Networking 9300S 32p QSFP28 100G 8p QSFP-DD 400G Back-to-Front and Front-to-Back Bundles along with new compatible transceivers and power supply options.
Support large data center pods connecting up to 6,000 x 25G servers or up to 2,000 x 100G servers.
Support large data center pods and increased density by connecting up to 6,000 x 25G servers or up to 2,000 x 100G servers.
