I realize this isn't a place to discuss the nuances of Aruba "sales and distribution", but wondering (more like need to know it's not just me) if any others are experiencing difficulty in obtaining the 1930 -series switches (other than the 8-port). I was able to get my hands on the following in April 2021...
JL681A
JL682A
At the time of order, the very reputable reseller indicated they had access to "multiple hundreds" of each but since then, the JL682A has been "out of stock" everywhere in the US. The distributors I've been able to contact in early 2022 stated June/July 2022, but here we are, the beginning of June, and it seems many have indicated it will be mid/end August 2022 (here in the USA)...some online retailers are now using "we cannot guarantee a delivery date" in lieu of a date. :0/
What am I missing? Other than patience (in these unfortunate times).
I am in need of retiring/replacing a number of old HPE 1920-series switches (company policy prohibits the use of non-supported hardware/software) and, being a tiny company, I can't justify the additional cost of the AIO 1960 switches (ouch)...which are, oddly enough, readily available
everywhere.
