Enterprise data centres must support growing application traffic while maintaining predictable network performance across virtualised and distributed workloads.
The HPE Aruba CX 8360-24XF2C v2 Switch delivers 24 × 10GbE SFP+ ports alongside 2 × 100GbE QSFP28 uplinks, providing high-speed connectivity for aggregation and data centre switching roles. The platform runs the AOS-CX operating system, enabling advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking capabilities. Data-centre and fabric-oriented switching architecture, together with AOS-CX telemetry and modern routing protocols, supports scalable east-west traffic patterns across leaf-spine and high-bandwidth aggregation designs.
The switch integrates the Network Analytics Engine (NAE), delivering continuous telemetry and programmable automation that allow operators to monitor network behaviour and identify anomalies quickly. That helps operators scale server, storage, and application connectivity without losing visibility into traffic behaviour as workloads become more distributed and bandwidth intensive. Organisations that require faster uplinks and 25GbE-ready aggregation may also consider the HPE Aruba CX 8360-48Y6C v2 48-Port SFP28 Switch, for improving headroom for server refreshes and higher-speed east-west traffic.
With integrated analytics and automation capabilities, the CX 8360 enables organisations to support increasing east-west traffic while maintaining operational visibility across the data centre fabric.

The HPE Aruba CX 8360-24XF2C v2 24-Port SFP+ Switch is designed for organisations that need fixed 10GbE fibre switching for campus aggregation and dynamic data centre roles. It is well suited to environments where fibre-connected services, hosts, or uplinks need a compact high-speed platform.
Campus aggregation layers often bring together fibre uplinks from buildings, access switches, and service platforms. The Aruba CX 8360-24XF2C v2 provides 10GbE fibre switching for these enterprise environments.
Server rooms and top-of-rack environments often use SFP+ links for servers, storage, and hypervisors. The Aruba CX 8360-24XF2C v2 delivers compact 10GbE fibre switching with high-speed uplinks.
Virtualisation hosts and storage platforms often depend on fibre links in private data environments. This model suits deployments where multiple fibre-connected systems need to be aggregated on one switch.
Private cloud environments often need switching with strong telemetry, automation, and resilient connectivity. The Aruba CX 8360-24XF2C v2 is a practical fit where 10GbE fibre underpins cloud-style infrastructure operations.
Some organisations standardise on AOS-CX across fibre aggregation and server-room switching. The Aruba CX 8360-24XF2C v2 supports a more consistent operational model across campus and data environments.
Our team can help design and deploy Aruba CX 8360-24XF2C v2 switching for fibre aggregation, virtualisation, and compact high-speed data environments.
