HPE JL700A Aruba CX 8360-32Y4C Managed Network Switch 32-Port L3

The HPE JL700A is a member of the Aruba CX 8360 series, a line of high-performance, campus core and data center switches. It is engineered for enterprises requiring high-density, multi-gigabit connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. This switch addresses the increasing demands of bandwidth-intensive applications, cloud environments, and IoT deployments by providing a scalable and resilient foundation for modern networks. It is ideal for deployment as a top-of-rack (ToR) switch in data centers or as a core and aggregation switch in large campus networks. At its core, the JL700A features a high-speed, fully distributed architecture capable of delivering up to 2.4 Tbps of bidirectional switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 1,145 Mpps. This level of performance ensures line-rate connectivity across all ports simultaneously, eliminating bottlenecks for demanding workloads. Key to its design is the ArubaOS-CX network operating system, which offers advanced automation, programmability, and real-time analytics, simplifying network operations and enhancing visibility. This model is a switch bundle that includes 32 SFP28 ports supporting 1/10/25GbE speeds and 4 QSFP28 ports for 40/100GbE uplinks, offering significant flexibility for network migration and expansion. Management is streamlined through REST APIs, Python scripting, and the Aruba Network Analytics Engine for intelligent monitoring and faster troubleshooting. The JL700A comes equipped with three front-to-back airflow fan trays and two 550W power supplies, ensuring operational resiliency for mission-critical environments.
