Aruba Networking Networking CX8325H 16p QSFP28 40G/100G Back-to-Front 4xFan 2xPSU Switch

Introduction

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325 Switch Series serves as both a campus (core and aggregation) and data center (ToR and EoR) switch. This game-changing solution offers a flexible, innovative approach to meet demands in the mobile, cloud, and IoT era. The CX 8325 series is based on AOS-CX, with its microservices style modular architecture, REST APIs, Python scripting capabilities and NAE is 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. CX 8325 series provides line rate 1/10/25/40GbE in a compact 1U form factor. The CX 8325P models, deliver key solutions for providers in their 5G (Radio access network) and edge computing deployments. CX 8325H models are high-performance 1/10/25/40/100GbE half-width switches ideal for smaller, edge or colocation data centers, and wide variety of compute and storage networking use cases.

What is new supporting point:
High-performance with 2000 Mpps. HPE Aruba Networking designed the data center for core/aggregation in the campus or top-of-rack (ToR) or end of row (EoR)
AOS-CX delivers automation and programmability using built-in REST APIs and Python scripts. High-availability with industry-leading VSX redundancy, and redundant power supplies and fans
Intelligent monitoring, visibility, and remediation with HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine and dynamic VXLAN for deep segmentation in data center and campus networks with BGP-EVPN
Compact 1U switches with 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE connectivity. Advanced layer 2/3 feature set includes BGP, OSPF, VRF, VXLAN, EVPN, IGMP and IPv6.
CX 8325P-32C switch supports PTP (1588v2), Class C (G.8275.1/G.8275.2), Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE, G.8262.1), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to support Telco Boundary Clock
CX 8325H has two variations: • 2.16 Tbps half-width fixed switch that supports 18 ports of 1/10/25GbE and 4 ports of 40/100GbE • 4 Tbps half-width fixed switch that supports 16 ports of 40/100GbE
