HPE S0F82A Aruba CX 9300S 32x100G 8x400G Switch
Overview
The HPE S0F82A is a member of the Aruba CX 9300S Switch Series, a line of high-performance, fixed-configuration data center switches. Engineered for demanding enterprise data center, cloud, and storage environments, this Layer 3 switch serves as a flexible and cost-effective solution for high-density top-of-rack (ToR) server and storage connectivity in modern leaf-spine fabric topologies. It directly addresses the need for scalable, high-bandwidth networking as organizations transition from 10GbE and 25GbE server farms to faster 100GbE and 400GbE infrastructures. This model provides a substantial bidirectional switching capacity of up to 25.6 Tbps within a compact 1U form factor. Its architecture is built around the cloud-native AOS-CX operating system, which offers a database-driven framework for automation, analytics, and high availability. This ensures resilient operation and simplifies network management through programmability, allowing for streamlined integration into complex, automated data center workflows. The switch is optimized to deliver low-latency, lossless performance required for modern storage and hyper-converged infrastructure. Designed for seamless deployment, the S0F82A fits into standard 19-inch racks and includes dual, hot-swappable power supplies for redundancy. This specific bundle is configured with a front-to-back airflow pattern, making it suitable for standard hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center layouts. Management is handled through the powerful AOS-CX platform, providing comprehensive control and visibility across the network fabric. Its high port density enables significant scale, supporting large pods of high-speed servers and reducing the overall footprint and power consumption.
