HPE S4Q68A | SN8325H 16-Port QSFP28 100GbE Half-Width Switch, Connector-to-Power

The HPE Storage Ethernet Switch H-series SN8325H is a 1U half-width DCN switch delivering 16 ports of 40/100GbE QSFP28 connectivity with 4 Tbps full-duplex switching capacity. Powered by HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325, it supports breakout to 4x25GbE per port (up to 64 ports total), making it ideal for data centres, edge/colocation, and HCI storage environments where rack space and energy efficiency are critical. The Connector-to-Power airflow direction suits front-to-rear cooled deployments, and two switches fit in a single 1U rack slot.

Built for automated, high-availability storage fabrics, the SN8325H integrates with HPE Aruba Networking Central, Fabric Composer, NetConductor, and supports REST APIs and Python scripting for programmability.
