HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series

Improves Network Bandwidth and Performance

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series offers a unique blend of performance and scale for distributing advanced networking and security services where it is 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.

All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications today and in the future., the CX 10000 switches provides 3.6 Tbps for bidirectional switching and 2000 Mpps for forwarding.

Limit Security Appliance Sprawl and Cost

The CX 10000 switches improve 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 CX 10000 switches provide 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

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series allows operators to extend industry-standard leaf-spine networking with 800G of distributed micro-segmentation, 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 AMD Pensando policy and services manager (PSM) based on specific security roles and responsibilities for increased scalability and fault tolerance.

Extends Zero Trust segmentation deeper into the data center for any type of host.

Optimizes network traffic flows, bandwidth, and performance, which reduces operational complexity associated with service stitching.

Simplify Operations

The CX 10000 switches are integrated with 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 CX 10000 switches integrate through Rest API, 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 switch is based on the CX Operating System, a modern, database-driven operating system that automates and simplifies many critical and complex network tasks.
