HPE JL711A Aruba CX 8360 24x10GbE 2x100GbE Switch
Overview
The HPE JL711A is a member of the Aruba CX 8360 Switch Series, engineered for high-demand data center and campus aggregation environments. This Layer 3 switch addresses the need for high-density, low-latency connectivity for modern applications and virtualization. It provides a robust foundation for building scalable network fabrics, delivering line-rate performance to eliminate bottlenecks between servers and the network core. At its core, the switch is powered by the cloud-native ArubaOS-CX operating system. This advanced network OS features a microservices architecture that delivers full programmability and automation through REST APIs and Python scripts. This design allows network administrators to streamline complex tasks, reduce manual configuration errors, and integrate the switch seamlessly into software-defined network infrastructures for improved operational efficiency and agility. Designed for rack-dense deployments, the JL711A features a compact 1U form factor with a back-to-front airflow scheme, making it ideal for Top-of-Rack (ToR) or End-of-Row (EoR) placements in the data center. Management is flexible, offering options such as the cloud-based Aruba Central platform, Aruba NetEdit for automated configuration, and a traditional Command Line Interface (CLI), providing comprehensive control for various operational models.
