Product Description
The HP R8S90A, part of the Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series, is a next-generation network access switch designed to meet the demands of modern high-density enterprise environments. It features 48 ports capable of operating at both 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE) speeds, making it ideal for supporting the latest high-performance wireless access points (APs) and other bandwidth-intensive edge devices. Crucially, these ports support Class 8 Power over Ethernet (PoE), based on the IEEE 802.3bt standard, which can deliver up to 60W of power per port, sufficient for the most power-hungry devices like advanced Wi-Fi 6E APs, IoT gateways, and high-end IP phones. Complementing the access ports, the R8S90A includes high-speed uplink options with two 50 Gigabit Ethernet (50GbE) ports and two 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE) ports. These uplinks provide substantial bandwidth to connect to the network core or aggregation layer, ensuring that the switch does not become a bottleneck, even under heavy traffic loads. The combination of multi-gigabit access and high-speed uplinks makes this switch suitable for demanding campus and branch office deployments. Running on the cloud-native ArubaOS-CX operating system, the R8S90A offers advanced programmability, automation, and analytics capabilities. This modern OS provides a unified and simplified operational experience across the Aruba CX portfolio, enabling IT teams to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot networks more efficiently. With its robust feature set, including comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, advanced security, and high-performance hardware, the R8S90A is a powerful solution for building scalable and future-proof enterprise networks.
