Aruba CX 10000-48Y6C Distributed Services 48p 25G SFP/SFP+/SFP28 6p 100G QSFP+/QSFP28 Switch

Introduction

HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series delivers a flexible and innovative approach to address the security performance, agility, and scalability demands of both traditional enterprise data centers and emerging distributed, edge and co-located centers of data. The CX 10000 series is a category of switches that combines the best-of-breed network operating system, HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX), for data center, campus, and edge in addition to the fully programmable AMD Pensando DPU. This allows the CX 10000 switches to deliver software-defined services inline, at scale, with wire-rate performance and orders of magnitude scale and performance improvements over traditional L2/L3 switches at a fraction of their TCO. This allows the flexibility to enable service delivery, when deployed as access, leaf top of rack (ToR), or end of row (EoR) in a data center, and potentially in the aggregation layer in campus or edge data center designs.

What is new supporting point:
A category of distributed services switch.
Unified network and security policy through HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer.
Security ecosystem integration with third-party vendors.
Leverages existing AOS-CX Cloud Native Switching.
HPE Aruba Networking CX with embedded programmable DPU (Pensando Elba ^[1]).
