Aruba 8325-32C Ethernet Switch

About the Aruba 8325-32C

The Aruba 8325 switch serves as both a campus (core and aggregation) and data center (Top of Rack) switch. This game-changing solution offers an innovative approach to dealing with network demands in the mobile, cloud and IoT era.

The Aruba 8325 is based on ArubaOS-CX, a modern software system that automates and simplifies critical and complex network tasks, delivers enhanced fault tolerance and facilitates zero-service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events.

The key innovations in ArubaOS-CX are its microservices style modular architecture, REST APIs, Python scripting capabilities and the Aruba Network Analytics Engine. The Aruba 8325 Switch Series provides line rate 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, and 40GbE in a compact 1U form factor.

FEATURES | Game-changing Business Agility
