Move more traffic through less space with a managed Layer 3 switch built for modern high-speed fabrics. The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325H S4B20A#ABA provides 18 SFP28 ports for 1/10/25 GbE connectivity and 4 QSFP28 ports for 40/100 GbE uplinks, giving network teams a compact platform for access, aggregation, or leaf deployments. Its half-width chassis is well suited to environments where rack density matters and airflow must stay consistent. Front-to-back cooling aligns with standard data center thermal design, while the port mix supports both current 25 GbE endpoints and higher-speed uplinks for spine or core connections. Compared with lower-capacity switches, this model earns its place by reducing bottlenecks at the edge of the fabric. The result is a cleaner path for server connectivity, storage traffic, and east-west flows without forcing oversized hardware into a small footprint. For teams planning around growth, the CX 8325H offers the kind of port density and uplink speed that can delay the next refresh cycle.
