Game-Changing Business Agility

HPE Aruba Networking CX 8400 Switch Series is a core and aggregation switch solution with an innovative and powerful approach to dealing with the new applications, security and scalability demands of the mobile, cloud and IoT era.

Fully programmable with HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX), it brings automation and visibility and helps troubleshoot via simple scripting.

HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE) provides the ability to monitor and troubleshoot the network, system, application and security related issues easily, through simple python agents and REST APIs.

High-availability, high-speed architecture with 19.2 Tbps switching capacity for always on networking.

Robust security and QoS with advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features including support for BGP, OSPF, VRF and IPv6.

Modern Software System Simplifies and Automates

The CX 8400 Series is based on AOS-CX, a modern software system for the core that automates and simplifies many critical and complex network tasks, delivers enhanced fault tolerance and facilitates zero-service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events.

The built-in time series database enables customers and developers to develop software modules for historical troubleshooting, as well as analysis of historical trends, to predict and avoid future problems due to scale, security and performance bottlenecks.

It includes stability, independent monitoring and restart of individual software modules, and enhanced software process serviceability functions. And it allows individual software modules to be upgraded for higher availability.

It delivers enhanced fault tolerance and facilitates nearly continuous operation and zero-service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events.

High Performance and Carrier-Class High Availability

The CX 8400 Switch includes a high-speed, fully distributed architecture and provides up to 19.2 Tbps switching capacity to meet the demands and bandwidth-intensive applications today and in the future.

High availability with HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) is designed to deliver continuous availability, virtualization and simplicity requirements unique to the core of the network. Redundant and hot-swappable power supplies and fans provide additional resiliency.

Scalable, compact 8U chassis delivers industry-leading line rate 10 GbE/25 GbE/40 GbE/100 GbE port density, very low latency, and scalability ideal for the campus core.
