High Performance Enterprise Data Center Switch
The Aruba CX 9300 Switch Series is a next-generation 25.6Tbps, 1U fixed configuration switch supporting 32-ports of 100GbE, 200GbE or 400GbE. The switch is an ideal solution for flexible, cost-effective, high-density 400GbE networking for server, storage, and intra-fabric connectivity. This solution helps protect enterprises investment as they transition server farms from 10GbE and 10GbE/25GbE to 100GbE/400GbE EVPN-VXLAN leaf and/or spine configurations at reduced power and a smaller footprint.
The Aruba CX 9300 Switch Series supports large Data Center PODS of up to 6,000 x 25GbE servers or up to 2,000 x 100GbE servers. This is an 8x jump in scaling/density over current Aruba CX 8325-32C which scales to 700 x 25GbE servers. Aruba CX 9300 Switch Series can be used as a 100GbE Leaf or 100GbE/400GbE Spine switch (128 x 100GbE or 64 x 200GbE ports using breakouts).
When deployed as a Spine, the Aruba CX 9300 Switch Series flexibility connects to a range of leaf switches including Aruba CX 8325 switch series, Aruba CX 8360 switch series, or Aruba CX 10000 switch series.
With Aruba's most recent AOS-CX release, the CX 9300-32D and CX 8325 switches provides an ideal solution for data center, cloud and storage use cases that support top-of-rack server/storage connectivity and scale-out leaf-spine fabric topologies. These innovative AOS-CX enhancements provide storage-optimization to ensure low-latency and "lossless" network QoS and connectivity characteristics that storage requires.
