Detailed Specifications

The HPE S0G09A is a member of the Aruba Networking CX 8325P Switch Series, a high-performance Layer 3 switch designed for demanding roles in both enterprise campus networks and modern data centers. It functions exceptionally as a core or aggregation switch in a campus architecture or as a top-of-rack (ToR) or end-of-row (EoR) switch in a data center. The primary role of this switch is to provide high-density, line-rate 40/100GbE connectivity to handle the escalating demands of mobile, cloud, and IoT traffic. Built on the advanced AOS-CX network operating system, this switch offers a modern, microservices-based architecture that enhances automation and simplifies complex network tasks. Its high-density configuration of 32 QSFP28 ports provides a massive 6.4 Tbps of non-blocking switching capacity and up to 2,000 Mpps of forwarding throughput. This ensures wire-speed performance for bandwidth-intensive applications and eliminates bottlenecks in the network core or data center fabric. High availability is ensured through redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans. The S0G09A bundle is engineered for immediate deployment, arriving with two AC power supplies and six fan trays pre-installed in a compact 1U chassis with a front-to-back airflow design. This configuration is ideal for standardized data center hot-aisle/cold-aisle layouts. Management is streamlined through the fully programmable AOS-CX, which includes built-in REST APIs and Python scripting capabilities, alongside support for the Aruba Network Analytics Engine for intelligent monitoring and faster troubleshooting.
