HPE Aruba CX 8325-48Y8C Switch

The HPE Aruba CX 8325-48Y8C is a high-density 25/100GbE modular switch designed for hyperscale data center architectures. It supports 48 ports of 25GbE and 8 ports of 100GbE, delivering up to 6.4 Tbps of throughput with a low-latency switching fabric optimized for spine and leaf fabric deployments. The platform incorporates Aruba's AOS-CX operating system, enabling advanced network programmability, telemetry, and integrated security capabilities across modern cloud and enterprise infrastructure.

Architected for scale-out data center fabrics, the CX 8325-48Y8C accommodates mixed-speed connectivity and supports standards-based protocols including BGP, EVPN, and VXLAN for overlay networking. The modular power supply and cooling design supports dense rack deployments while maintaining operational flexibility and redundancy across critical network tiers.

The switch targets environments requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect for virtualization clusters, containerized workloads, distributed storage systems, and east-west data center traffic patterns. Integrated hardware counters and real-time telemetry enable comprehensive network observability without impacting forwarding performance.

Ideal for

• Spine and leaf fabric architectures for multi-tenant cloud and virtualization platforms
• High-performance compute cluster interconnect for HPC and AI/ML workload acceleration
• Distributed storage node interconnection in hyper-converged infrastructure environments
• Data center core and aggregation layer consolidation with mixed 25/100GbE densities
• Overlay network fabric for VXLAN and EVPN-based multi-tenancy and segmentation
• East-west data center traffic optimization in containerized and microservices deployments
