Aruba 6405 v2 Managed Network Switch

If you're building a growing network and need something that can keep up, this modular switch gives you the flexibility and power to do just that. The Aruba 6405 v2 is built to handle serious traffic with up to 28 terabits per second of switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 11.4 billion packets per second. It runs on a quad-core 1.8 GHz processor with 16GB of DDR4 memory and 32GB of flash storage, so it stays fast even under heavy workloads. You get five expansion slots to configure exactly how you want—whether you need 10Gb ports, 100Gb fiber, or high-power PoE for devices. It includes two fan trays, a management module, and rackmount gear, but you'll need to add power supplies separately. Plus, with Aruba's AOS-CX software and built-in analytics, it’s easier to monitor, troubleshoot, and automate your network without digging through complex menus.
