The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300SwitchSeries provides 25.6Tbps, 1U fixed configuration that supports 32 ports of 100/400GbE. This series is designed to provide flexible, cost-effective, high-density 400GbE for servers, storage, and intra-fabric connectivity.
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300SwitchSeries protects enterprises' investment as they as they transition server farms from 10GbE and 25GbE to 100GbE/400GbE EVPN-VXLAN spine configurations, with reduced power and a smaller footprint. It supports large data center pods of up to 6,000 x 25G servers or up to 2,000 x 100G servers. This is an significant jump in scaling/density over current HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325-32C, which scales to 700 x 25G servers.

- Protects enterprises' investment as they as they transition server farms from 10GbE and 25GbE to 100GbE/400GbE EVPN-VXLAN spine configurations, with reduced power and a smaller footprint.
- Support large data center pods connecting up to 6,000 x 25G servers or up to 2,000 x 100G servers.
- Support large data center pods and increased density by connecting up to 6,000 x 25G servers or up to 2,000 x 100G servers.
- HPE Aruba Networking Aruba Fabric Composer greatly simplifies the automation, orchestration, and end-end visibility of the network fabric underlay and virtualized overlay.
- Introducing new HPE Aruba Networking 9300S 32p QSFP28 100G 8p QSFP-DD 400G Back-to-Front and Front-to-Back Bundles along with new compatible transceivers and power supply options.
High Performance and Scale
- The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series meets the modern demands of large scale virtualized and cloud networks.
- Provide flexible, cost-effective, high-density 100/400GbE for servers, storage, and intra-fabric connectivity.
- The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series with breakout cabling scalability allows a single 200GbE split into two 100GbE links.
- 100GbE ports can breakout to four 25GbE ports linking one switch port, and accommodating up to four adapter cards in servers or other subsystems.
- 400 Gbps port can be configured as 4x100GbE, 2x200GbE, or 1x400GbE.
Ethernet Storage Fabric
- The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series enables low-latency and "lossless" network QoS and connectivity characteristics that storage requires.
- Ideal for software-defined storage and HCI solutions, where multiple servers share captive (SSD/flash-based) storage resources.
Investment Protection
- The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series eases transition from 10GbE and 25GbE to 100GbE/400GbE.
- Provides higher scaling with reduced power and a smaller footprint.
Intelligent Analytics
- The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series features real-time monitoring and troubleshooting with HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE).
- Intelligent pre-processing of data turns raw telemetry into actionable insights.
