HPE R9W92A ABA Aruba CX 8100 managed Ethernet switch 40 ports

The HPE R9W92A is a high-performance Layer 3 switch from the Aruba CX 8100 series, engineered for demanding enterprise campus core, aggregation, and data center top-of-rack (ToR) deployments. It provides a powerful and resilient foundation for business-critical applications by addressing the scalability and bandwidth requirements of modern networks driven by cloud, mobile, and IoT initiatives. This platform is built to deliver sustained, line-rate performance and low latency across all ports. At the heart of the switch is AOS-CX, a modern, cloud-native operating system that automates and simplifies network operations. Its database-driven architecture provides full programmability through REST APIs and Python scripts, enabling seamless integration with orchestration workflows. This architecture, combined with the Aruba Network Analytics Engine, delivers real-time visibility and rapid troubleshooting, helping IT teams move from reactive problem-solving to proactive, intelligent network management. As a 1U rack-mountable unit with a front-to-back airflow design, the R9W92A is physically optimized for data center and dense wiring closet environments. Logically, it serves as a robust aggregation point, connecting multiple access layer switches or high-performance servers. Management is highly flexible, supporting the cloud-based Aruba Central platform for unified, single-pane-of-glass infrastructure control, as well as traditional on-premises tools and full CLI access for maximum operational adaptability.
