Aruba CX 9300 Ethernet Switch

About the Aruba CX 9300

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300SwitchSeries 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 9300SwitchSeries protects enterprises' investment as they 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.
