HPE Aruba CX 9300S S0F87A – 32 × 100G + 8 × 400G High-Density Switch
Overview
The HPE S0F87A is a high-performance fixed switch from the Aruba CX 9300S series, built for modern data center fabrics. It provides 32 QSFP28 ports running at 100 Gb and 8 QSFP-DD ports capable of 400 Gb, making it ideal for spine or leaf deployment in high-density environments. With back-to-front airflow via six fans and dual DC power supplies, it suits racks designed for cold-aisle/hot-aisle data center architectures. This switch supports full Layer-3 capabilities — including static routing, OSPF, BGP, ECMP, and EVPN-VXLAN — helping enterprises scale pods of servers or storage nodes efficiently and reliably.
