The past several decades in networking have been defined by static, closed networking solutions designed for the client-server era. The Aruba CX 8400 Switch Series, a campus core and aggregation switch, is a game-changing solution that offers an innovative approach to dealing with the demands of the mobile, cloud and IOT era. With a modern, fully programmable ArubaOS-CX running in a carrier-grade chassis, the 8400 extends intelligence in the Mobile First Architecture from the network edge to the core. ArubaOS-CX is a modern software system that automates and simplifies critical and complex network tasks, delivers enhanced fault tolerance and facilitates zero-service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events. The CX 8400 Switch Series provides line rate 10GbE, 25 GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE in a modular chassis and together with the compact 1U Aruba 8320 Switch Series, rounds out the Aruba Mobile First switching portfolio with an enterprise core and aggregation solution.

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series provides 25.6Tbps, 1U fixed configuration that supports 32 ports of 100/400GbE. This series is designed to provide flexible, cost-effective, high-density 400GbE for servers, storage, and intra-fabric connectivity.

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series protects enterprises’ investment as they as they transition server farms from 10GbE and 25GbE to 100GbE/400GbE EVPN-VXLAN spine configurations, with reduced power and a smaller footprint. It supports large data center pods of up to 6,000 x 25G servers or up to 2,000 x 100G servers. This is an significant jump in scaling/density over current HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325-32C, which scales to 700 x 25G servers.

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series serves the needs of modern campus core and aggregation as well as dynamic top-of-rack (ToR) data center environments, offering a flexible and innovative approach to addressing the application, security, and scalability demands of the mobile, cloud, and IoT.

The HPE CX 8100 Switches are based on AOS-CX, a modern software system that automates and simplifies critical network tasks, offers programmability with REST APIs and Python scripts, and delivers enhanced fault tolerance and zero-service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events. Real-time, network-wide visibility and analytics are also available in every switch.

The series includes industry-leading line rate ports with 1/10GbE (SFP/SFP+) and 40/100GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. 4x10Gbps and 4x25Gbps break out from 40/100G. These switches are great for customers needing 1GbE/10GbE with a mix of fiber and copper ports.
