It provides up to 2.5 Tbps of switching capacity with redundant power and fans combined with HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) for a high availability solution ideal for enterprise campus and data center deployments. The CX 8320 also serves as a top of rack (ToR) switch for data centers needing 10GbE connectivity to servers and 40GbE to the spine.

The CX 8320 is based on HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX), a modern, database‑driven operating system that automates 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.

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 FlexFabric 5900 Switch Series are high density, low latency Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches suited for deployment at the access layer and management network of medium-sized and large enterprise data centers.
To meet the increased demand for virtualization, scalability, and programmability, these switches provide high performance switching with low latency and user friendly OS (Comware v7). Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) helps in simpler, flatter, and agile networks by combining multiple physical switches into a logical device. Network and security features coupled with dual, redundant hot swappable power-supplies provide investment protection, reliability, and availability, and allow advanced chassis power management.
These switches also provide network visibility through multi-vendor network management with HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC).

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.
