It is fully programmable with the HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX) and, it brings automation and visibility and helps troubleshoot through simple scripting.
HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine provides the ability to monitor and troubleshoot the network, system, application and security related issues easily, through simple Python agents and REST APIs.
It offers high-speed fully distributed architecture with 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity. It provides robust security and QoS with advanced layer 2 and layer 3 features including support for BGP, OSPF, VRF and VXLAN.
The CX 8325H helps balance density, high availability, and affordability by conserving rack space and costs when deploying server, storage and HCI solutions. Ideal for compute and storage networking use cases where lower-density networking I/O and/or limited rack space are required.
The built-in time series database enables customers and developers to develop software modules for historical troubleshooting, as well as analysis of historical trends, to predict and avoid future problems due to scale, security, and performance bottlenecks.
The AOS-CX features are organized into CX Foundational and CX Advanced software licenses.
It includes stability, independent monitoring and restart of individual software modules, and enhanced software process serviceability functions. It also allows individual software modules to be upgraded for higher availability.
Every CX switch includes AOS-CX at no cost and with an active, perpetual set of native features that has everything needed to deploy, connect, and troubleshoot an enterprise network.
The HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) is a high-availability technology, which has been designed from the ground up to deliver continuous availability, virtualization, and simplicity requirements. Redundant and hot-swappable power supplies and fans provide additional resiliency.
The compact 1U switch delivers line rate 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 25 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100 GbE with very low latency. Optimize for your deployment with models that provide 48 ports of 1/10/25 GbE plus 8 ports of 40/100 GbE or 32 ports of 40/100 GbE.
The CX 8325P-32C switch delivers Advanced Layer 3 including OSPF, BGP, VXLAN and breakouts to support up to 128 ports of 10G and 25G
The CX 8325H switch delivers high-performance, high density 1/10/25/40/100G connectivity half-width, in a single RU form factor. Throughput of 2.16 Tbps with 18 ports of 1/10/25 and 4 ports of 40/100 GbE and throughput of 4 Tbps with 16 ports of 40/100 GbE.
HPE Aruba Networking CX switches, both 10/25 and 40/100G, can be deployed as part of these solutions and is often designed into these integrated solutions along with the following HPE platforms ProLiant DL/DX servers, SimpliVity, Synergy, Cray ClusterStor, Superdome Flex, and HPE GreenLake.
These ready-to-deploy, integrated IT DCN solutions simplify and speed IT service, reduce time, risk, and expertise needed to deploy complex solutions. Use the new tracking SKUs (R9FXXX) when including CX switches in HPE integrated and mixed compute, storage, networking configuration and deployments.
The CX 8325P switches provide greater flexibility to ensure a range of deployment models by allowing 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G and 100G computing deployments, while ensuring greater interoperability with key HPE Telco solutions.
The CX 8325H switches enable low-latency and “lossless” network QoS and connectivity characteristics that storage requires. Ideal for software-defined storage and HCI solutions, where multiple servers share captive (SSD/flash-based) storage resources.
