The Aruba CX 8360-48Y6C v2 is a high-density core and aggregation switch engineered for enterprise data center and large campus network refreshes. It delivers 48 ports of 25GbE via SFP28 connectivity combined with 6 ports of 400GbE QSFP112-DD uplink capacity, enabling non-blocking fabric performance at scale. The switch runs AOS-CX, Aruba's unified operating system, delivering intent-based networking, machine learning-powered analytics, and granular automation capabilities across heterogeneous environments.
Architecturally optimized for high-throughput aggregation roles, the CX 8360-48Y6C v2 consolidates server access and data center interconnect functions with consistent throughput and low latency. Support for VXLAN, BGP, and EVPN protocols enables seamless multi-tenant and multi-pod deployments, while native telemetry and Netflow integration support real-time network visibility and compliance monitoring.
Target deployments span financial services networks requiring deterministic SLA delivery, hyperscale facilities with 400G interconnect requirements, and EMEA enterprise campuses migrating from legacy core architectures to software-driven infrastructure.
