HPE R8S89A Aruba 6300M 24-Port Multi-Gigabit PoE+ Switch
Overview
The HPE R8S89A is a member of the Aruba CX 6300M Switch Series, a family of modern, stackable Layer 3 access switches designed for the demands of enterprise campus, branch, and data center top-of-rack (ToR) deployments. It addresses the need for high-speed, scalable, and secure connectivity for the latest generation of IoT devices and high-performance wireless access points. This switch provides a robust foundation for networks supporting cloud, mobile, and IoT applications. At its core, the switch is powered by the Aruba Gen7 ASIC architecture, which delivers low-latency, non-blocking performance. This model features 24 ports of HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit (1/2.5/5/10G) Ethernet with high-power Class 6 PoE, providing up to 60W per port to power devices like Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras and 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6 access points. The inclusion of high-speed 50G and 25G SFP uplinks ensures ample bandwidth to the network core, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring a smooth user experience even in high-density environments. Designed for operational simplicity and scalability, the R8S89A is a 1U rack-mountable unit that fits seamlessly into standard network racks. Management is streamlined through Aruba Central, a cloud-based platform that provides a single point of control for wired, wireless, and WAN infrastructure. The Aruba Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) allows for the stacking of up to 10 switches, which simplifies management and increases network resiliency by allowing multiple units to be configured and operated as a single logical device.
