Features | Game-changing Business Agility
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325 Switch Series is a campus core and aggregation switch and data center (ToR) solution with an innovative and powerful approach to dealing with the cross-domain demands of the mobile, cloud, and IoT era.
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 lowerdensity networking I/O and/or limited rack space are required.
Modern Software System Simplifies and Automates
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325 Switch Series is based on the new HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX), a modern software system that automates and simplifies many critical and complex network tasks.
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.
High Performance and High Availability
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325 Switch Series includes a high-speed, fully distributed architecture and provides up to 6.4 Tbps for bidirectional switching and 2000 Mpps for forwarding. All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications
