Aruba R9X00A

The HPE Aruba R9X00A is a 1U switch from the CX series designed for 25G datacenter aggregation, with 48 x 25G SFP28 ports and 8 x 100G QSFP28 uplinks for a throughput of 4 Tbps. Its aggregation role positions it between a pure top-of-rack and core switch, concentrating 25G traffic flows toward 100G uplinks. AOS-CX provides full programmatic management.

The R9X00A addresses three-tier architectures (access, aggregation, core) where the intermediate layer must absorb 25G server density and deliver sufficient uplink bandwidth. It integrates into existing AOS-CX fabrics without major reconfiguration. Genuine HPE Aruba hardware, manufacturer warranty.
