HPE J9729 Aruba 2920 48G PoE+ Managed Desktop Switch

The HPE J9729A is a stackable, basic Layer 3 access switch from the Aruba 2920 series, engineered for the enterprise edge, SMB, and branch office networks. It provides a secure, scalable, and easy-to-use solution for building high-performance converged networks. This switch is designed to deliver a consistent wired and wireless user experience, simplifying network infrastructure for IT teams. Powered by a robust ProVision ASIC, this switch offers low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. Its modular design supports optional 10GbE uplinks (SFP+ and 10GBASE-T) and a pay-as-you-grow stacking capability that allows up to four switches to be managed as a single virtual device. This architecture ensures the network can scale quickly to meet growing demands without a complete overhaul. Designed for deployment in wiring closets or equipment racks, the 1U rack-mountable switch simplifies operations with advanced management tools. It integrates seamlessly with platforms like Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba AirWave, and the cloud-based Aruba Central for unified policy management and Zero Touch Provisioning, reducing the need for extensive on-site IT support.
