Switches & Bridges

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series with Pensando is a category of switch that combines best-of-breed Aruba data center L2/3 switching with the industry's first hardware-accelerated programmable processor (Pensando® P4). The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 delivers stateful software-defined services inline, at scale, with wire-rate performance and orders of magnitude scale and performance improvements over traditional data center L2/3 switches at a fraction of their TCO.

FEATURES | Improves Network Bandwidth and Performance

Aruba CX 10000 Switch Series with Pensando offers a unique blend of performance and scale for distributing advanced networking and security services where it's impractical and costly to force traffic back and forth across the network to a centralized policy enforcement point.

Simplify application of services at the services network access layer edge.

Limit Security Appliance Sprawl and Cost

Aruba CX 10000 Switch Series with Pensando improves network bandwidth and performance by not having to trombone local traffic to a centralized chokepoint, helping to improve security posture while limiting appliance sprawl complexity and cost.

The Aruba CX 10000 provides a compelling architectural alternative that distributes these advanced services to the data center edge, with unified network and security automation and policy management.

Extend Zero Trust and Micro Segmentation

Aruba CX 10000 Switch Series with Pensando allows operators to extend industry standard leaf-spine networking with 800G of distributed microsegmentation, east-west firewalling, NAT, encryption and telemetry services-delivered inline, across every port, closer to critical enterprise applications.

Organizations with dedicated SecOps teams can leverage Policy and Services and Manager (PSM) based on specific security roles and responsibilities for increased scalability and fault tolerance.

Simplify Operations

Aruba CX 10000 Switch Series with Pensando is integrated with Aruba Fabric Composer which provides unified network and security management, automated switch and network configurations, and unified security policy and distributed firewalls across the entire switching fabric.

The Aruba CX 10000 integrates via a Rest API and provides flow data to security and network performance tools including Advanced Security ML (XDR), Application Dependency Mapping (ADM), Network Performance Management (NPM), SIEM/SOAR, firewall compliance rules, and identity group mapping tools.

The Aruba CX 6200 Switch Series is a next-gen family of stackable access switches ideal for enterprise branch offices, campuses, and SMB networks. Created for game-changing operational efficiency with built-in analytics and automation, the CX 6200 switches provide an enterprise-class access layer solution that's simple and secure.

Built from the ground up with a combination of cuttingedge hardware, software and analytics and automation tools, the stackable CX 6200 switches are part of the Aruba CX switching portfolio. By combining a modern, fully programmable OS with the Aruba Network Analytics Engine, the CX 6200 brings industry leading monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to the access layer.

A powerful Aruba Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers reliable performance and enterprise-class feature support with flexible programmability for tomorrow's applications. The CX 6200 is designed for simple deployment using the intuitive Aruba CX Mobile App that speeds install, configuration and stacking of up to 8 switches. The CX 6200 switch series includes fixed (CX 6200F) and modular (CX 6200M) switches with built-in high-speed uplinks. Fixed switches support up to 30W of PoE per port. Flexible, modular switches offer hotswappable power supplies and fans for enhanced resiliency and redundancy, and up to 60W of PoE per port to power the latest IoT devices, security cameras, and wireless APs.

Aruba Dynamic Segmentation extends Aruba's foundational wireless role-based policy capability to Aruba wired switches. What this means is that the same security, user experience and simplified IT management can be enjoyed throughout the network. Regardless of how users and IoT devices connect, consistent policies are enforced across wired and wireless networks, keeping traffic secure and separate.

PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATORS | AOS-CX - a modern software system

The Aruba CX 6200 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a modern, database-driven operating system that automates ARUBA CX 6200 SWITCH SERIES and simplifies many critical and complex network tasks. A built-in time series database enables customers and developers to utilize software scripts for historical troubleshooting, as well as analysis of past trends. This helps predict and avoid future problems due to scale, security, and performance bottlenecks. Easy access to all network state information allows unique visibility and analytics Our AOS-CX software also includes Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) and support for Aruba NetEdit. Because AOSCX is built on a modular Linux architecture with a stateful database, our operating system provides the following unique capabilities:

• Easy access to all network state information allows unique visibility and analytics
• REST APIs and Python scripting for fine-grained programmability of network tasks
