HPE JL707C Aruba CX 8360 v2 48-Port 10G Switch
Overview
The HPE JL707C is a high-performance, top-of-rack data center switch designed for enterprise core and aggregation layers. It provides a flexible and powerful solution for environments demanding high port density, low latency, and scalable performance to support modern applications, cloud services, and IoT initiatives. This switch is engineered to address the evolving needs of campus core, aggregation, and data center networks requiring robust Layer 3 capabilities. At its core, the Aruba CX 8360 v2 series is built on a cloud-native, microservices-based architecture running the AOS-CX operating system. This provides exceptional resiliency, with features like Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) for high availability and no downtime during upgrades. The platform's programmability, through REST APIs and Python scripting, allows for deep integration and automation within an organization's existing IT workflows and management systems. Physically, the JL707C is a compact 1U switch featuring 48 ports of 1/10GBASE-T for server connectivity and four 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 ports for high-speed uplinks. This configuration is ideal for deployment at the end-of-row or top-of-rack in a data center, or as a core/aggregation switch in a campus network. Management is unified and flexible, offered through Aruba Central for cloud-based oversight, or via traditional on-premises methods like a web GUI and CLI.
