HPE S0F84A Aruba CX 9300S 32p 100G 8p 400G Switch
Overview
The HPE S0F84A is a high-density, top-of-rack data center switch designed for enterprise environments requiring massive scale and performance. As a core component of the Aruba CX 9300S series, this Layer 3 switch is engineered for spine-and-leaf architectures, addressing the escalating demands of modern applications, cloud services, and storage fabrics. It solves the critical need for a high-throughput, low-latency network fabric that can seamlessly connect large clusters of servers and storage. This switch delivers a staggering 25.6 Tbps of switching capacity in a compact 1U form factor. Its architecture is built to support flexible, high-density 100GbE and 400GbE connectivity, making it an ideal platform for organizations transitioning from 10GbE or 25GbE server farms. The port configuration, featuring 32 ports of 100GbE QSFP28 and 8 ports of 400GbE QSFP-DD, provides the bandwidth necessary for data-intensive workloads and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions. Engineered for deployment in sophisticated data centers, the S0F84A bundle is configured with back-to-front airflow, six fan trays, and two AC power supplies for operational resilience. Management is streamlined through the Aruba CX operating system, which includes the Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE). This provides advanced telemetry and automation capabilities, allowing network administrators to monitor, troubleshoot, and gain actionable insights into network health and performance in real time.
