The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325-32C Power-to-Port Airflow Switch Bundle is a next-generation high-density Ethernet switch built for demanding enterprise, cloud, and hyperscale data center environments. Featuring 32?100G QSFP28 ports, it delivers massive throughput and ultra-low latency, making it ideal for spine-leaf fabrics, core aggregation, and bandwidth-intensive workloads such as virtualization, AI/ML, storage fabrics, and high-performance computing.
The port-to-power airflow design ensures optimal thermal management by directing airflow from the interface side toward the power supplies, aligning with advanced data center cooling strategies. Equipped with six high-efficiency, hot-swappable fans and dual redundant power supplies, the CX 8325-32C provides robust reliability and uninterrupted uptime in mission-critical deployments.
Powered by the modern Aruba AOS-CX operating system, this switch delivers microservices-based architecture, real-time telemetry, programmable REST APIs, and automation workflows that simplify network provisioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting. The solution also supports advanced features such as BGP, OSPF, EVPN-VXLAN, and comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 services for flexible and scalable network topologies.
Security is embedded throughout, including role-based access control, secure boot, MACsec encryption options, and encrypted management protocols, safeguarding sensitive traffic and infrastructure. With deep buffers, low-latency forwarding, and enterprise-grade resilience, the CX 8325-32C is an excellent choice for organizations seeking high-performance, scalable, and secure data center networking.
