HPE JL624A - Aruba 8325-48Y8C 1U 48×25G + 8×100G Switch
Overview
The HPE JL624A is a bundled configuration of the Aruba 8325-48Y8C fixed-port switch designed for high-density leaf/aggregation or campus core roles, offering 48 ports of 25 GbE (SFP28) and 8 ports of 100 GbE (QSFP28) in a compact 1-rack-unit form factor. With up to 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity and 2,000 Mpps forwarding, it addresses emerging network demands for 25G/100G connectivity in data centres and campus aggregation. The bundle includes hot-swappable PSUs and fans, and is tailored for front-to-back airflow environments. It's appropriate for enterprises undergoing 25G infrastructure deployment or looking to future-proof uplinks with 100G breakout capability.
Key Features
48 ports of 25 GbE SFP28 plus 8 ports of 100 GbE QSFP28 deliver high-density, high-speed connectivity in a 1U footprint.
Redundant power supplies and six front‐to‐back hot-swappable fan modules ensure availability in top-of-rack (ToR) or aggregation racks.
Built-on the Aruba CX 8325 platform with AOS-CX operating system supporting advanced routing (BGP/OSPF), VXLAN, segment routing, and full Layer-2/3 switching.
Front-to-back (airflow) variant simplifies deployment in data-centre racks with cold-aisle/hot-aisle containment and aligns with rack cooling best practices.
