Aruba R9W98A

The HPE Aruba R9W98A is an entry-level 1U aggregation switch from the CX series, offering 24 x 1G/10G SFP+ ports and 6 x 100G QSFP28 uplinks for a throughput of 1.68 Tbps. With 6 x 100G uplink ports — versus 4 on comparable models — it provides greater connection flexibility toward the core while maintaining a compact form factor. AOS-CX ensures modern management.

The R9W98A is sized for entry-level datacenters or secondary sites looking to consolidate SFP+ flows toward a 100G core with enhanced redundancy. Its 6 uplinks support advanced multi-homing or LACP aggregation toward multiple core switches. Genuine HPE Aruba hardware, manufacturer warranty.
