Description
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 an innovative approach to dealing with network demands in the mobile, cloud, and IoT era. CX 8325 Switch 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 provides line rate 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, and 40GbE in a compact 1U form factor. CX 8325P, delivers key solutions for providers in their 5G (Radio Access Network) and edge computing deployments. CX 8325H are high-performance 1/10/25/40/100G 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 2,000 Mpps. HPE Aruba Networking designed the data center for core/aggregation in the campus or top-of-rack (ToR) or End of Row (EoR).
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: • 2.16Tbps half-width fixed switch that supports 18 ports of 1/10/25 and 4 ports of 40/100GbE • 4Tbps half-width fixed switch that supports 16 ports of 40/100 GbE
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 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, and IPv6.
