HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series, industry's first DPU-enabled switches, 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 DPUs. This allows the 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.

HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN provides a solid foundation for Zero Trust and SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) frameworks to tackle the networking and security challenges of hybrid working and cloud computing. The solution tightly integrates with HPE Aruba Networking SSE to form a single-vendor SASE platform.

Leveraging a built-in next-generation firewall with features such as IDS/IPS, advanced Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) protection and role-based segmentation, HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN enables organizations to seamlessly consolidate their branch equipment by replacing branch firewalls and routers. It allows them to reduce the cost and complexity of building a WAN while reducing MPLS dependency. This is achieved by leveraging broadband internet and cellular links to connect users to applications with advanced features such as path optimization, WAN optimization and multi-cloud networking.

HPE Aruba Networking SSE is an integral part of a unified SASE framework, offering a modern approach to traditional network security technologies like firewalls, VPN gateway appliances, web gateway appliances, and more. With over 500 edge locations, HPE Aruba Networking SSE brings access as close to the user as possible, seamlessly connecting users, devices, and servers to essential business resources.

This cloud-delivered SSE platform feels effortlessly light and integrates four primary security solutions into one, managed through a single-pane-of-glass interface:

* Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for private apps
* Secure Web Gateway (SWG) for web access
* Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) for SaaS apps
* Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) to help ensure user productivity

Embrace modern connectivity with enhanced security in a single, cloud-delivered solution and empower IT teams to control all user and application access, regardless of location, device, or network.

HPE Aruba Networking Beacons leverage Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) technology to power indoor location and wayfinding, and proximity-aware push notifications at enterprises, stadiums, hospitals and other public venues. The ability to customize the placement of beacons ensures a highly engaged customer experience.

These small, low-power wireless transmitters broadcast radio signals at regular intervals that can be heard and interpreted by iOS and Android devices using HPE Aruba Networking Wi-Fi access points. Purpose-built applications can be creating using our software development kits (SDKs).

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8320 Switch Series provides industry‑leading line rate 1/10GbE (SFP/SFP+ and 10GBASE‑T) and 40GbE connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. 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 FlexNetwork 5600 HI Switch Series delivers superior performance using Multigigabit, PoE8, MACsec, AES 256 encryption, link flexibility, and scalability at the access layer of medium and large enterprise campus networks. Additional modules can be included for increased capacity. This series offers improved resiliency with DRNI and IRF, better reliability and performance in user Quality of Service (QoS), enhanced security with hardware-based MACsec and AAA authentication, impressive efficiency with dual redundant power supplies, embedded network management using Smart MC and enhanced network visibility using IMC.

The HPE FlexFabric 5940 Switch Series is a family of high-performance and low-latency 10GbE and 40GbE top-of-rack (ToR) data center switches. The 5940 Switch includes 100G uplink technology which is part of the HPE FlexFabric data center solution and is a cornerstone of the FlexNetwork architecture.
The 5940 Switch is suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise data centers or at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises. It is optimized for high-performance server connectivity, convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic, and virtual environments.

The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5710 are purpose built top-of-rack data center switches that address the growth of Web, cloud and dense virtualized environments that require high performance 1/10GbE server connectivity, direct attached IP storage networking and GbE out-of-band server management. The 5710 Series switch is a family of fixed high-performance and low-latency 1/10GbE top-of-rack data center switches designed for small to mid-size data center rack server connectivity. The HPE Networking Comware Switch Series 5710 provides choices that fit your budget and IT environment by offering different port density and speeds (1/10G) SFP+ or 10BASE-T with 40 and 100GbE high speed uplinks options. Although affordability priced, the 5710 Series switch offers a comprehensive set of data center features including full support for Layer 2, Layer 3, IPv4 and IPv6 networking protocols at no additional cost for these advanced features.
