The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325-48Y8C Power-to-Port Airflow Switch Bundle is engineered for high-performance data centers, cloud infrastructures, and enterprise networks demanding flexible and scalable Ethernet solutions. With 48?25G SFP28 access ports and 8?100G QSFP28 uplinks, this switch delivers robust throughput for leaf, aggregation, and core layers in modern network fabrics.
Its port-to-power airflow design ensures efficient cooling by drawing air from the port side toward the power supplies ? a configuration that aligns with advanced hot-aisle/cold-aisle cooling strategies. The bundle includes six high-efficiency hot-swappable fans and dual redundant power supplies for high availability and continuous operation, even in mission-critical workloads.
Built on the cloud-native Aruba AOS-CX operating system, the CX 8325-48Y8C supports advanced automation, real-time telemetry, REST APIs, and programmable network workflows that streamline network provisioning, monitoring, and maintenance. The switch also supports advanced routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), EVPN-VXLAN overlays, and comprehensive Layer 2/Layer 3 features for scalable and resilient network fabrics.
Security is integrated throughout the architecture with role-based access control, secure boot, encrypted management, and optional MACsec encryption to protect sensitive applications and data flows. Ideal for large enterprise campuses, hyperscale data centers, and cloud service providers, the CX 8325-48Y8C delivers reliable, scalable, and intelligent network connectivity for today?s demanding digital environments.
