Modern data centre infrastructure requires high-speed server connectivity capable of supporting growing east-west traffic between applications and virtualised workloads.
The HPE Aruba CX 8360-32Y4C v2 Switch provides 32 × 1/10/25GbE SFP/SFP+/SFP28 ports with 4 × 100GbE QSFP28 uplinks, enabling scalable server connectivity for modern leaf-spine architectures. The switch runs the AOS-CX operating system with advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 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 CX 8360 platform integrates the Network Analytics Engine, providing telemetry-driven monitoring and programmable automation across high-performance network fabrics. 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 higher 25GbE port density and uplink capacity may also consider the HPE Aruba CX 8360-48Y6C v2 48-Port SFP28 Switch, for supporting larger server farms and storage fabrics from a single switch tier.
By combining high-speed server access with automated monitoring and analytics, the CX 8360 allows operators to scale infrastructure while maintaining consistent network performance.

The HPE Aruba CX 8360-32Y4C v2 32-Port SFP28 Switch is designed for organisations that need higher-density 25GbE fibre switching for campus aggregation and data centre roles. It is well suited to environments where more fibre-connected servers, storage systems, or high-speed services need to be supported on one platform.
Aggregation layers with many fibre links need a switch that can concentrate bandwidth without adding complexity. The Aruba CX 8360-32Y4C v2 provides dense 25GbE fibre switching for campuses and high-speed service environments.
Data centre racks with fibre-connected servers or storage often need more local 25GbE ports and fast uplinks into the fabric. The Aruba CX 8360-32Y4C v2 fits these environments as a high-density top-of-rack platform.
Large virtualisation clusters and storage environments often depend on dense 25GbE fibre connectivity. This switch is a strong fit where many hosts or appliances connect to the same rack-level platform.
As private cloud estates grow, port density becomes increasingly important across compute and storage layers. The Aruba CX 8360-32Y4C v2 provides the fibre capacity needed for rack-scale and aggregation roles.
Many organisations want one AOS-CX operating model for campus and data switching. The Aruba CX 8360-32Y4C v2 helps maintain that consistency across higher-density fibre deployments.
Our team can help design and deploy Aruba CX 8360-32Y4C v2 switching for high-density fibre aggregation, virtualisation, and top-of-rack deployments.
