HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Switch Series delivers a flexible and innovative approach to address the security, performance, agility, and scalability demands of traditional enterprise data centers as well as emerging distributed, edge, and colocated centers of data.

The CX 10000 Series combines the best-of-breed network operating system, HPE Aruba Networking CX switch operating system (AOS-CX), for data center, campus, and edge with fully programmable DPUs. This helps 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 TCO.

This flexibility supports deployment as access, leaf top of rack (ToR), or end of row (EoR) in a data center, and potentially in the aggregation layer.

What's new

• A category of distributed services switch with embedded programmable DPUs overcoming legacy network and security design limitations
• CX 10000 offers 3.2 Tbps of switching capacity supporting 1/10/25 GbE; CX 10040 offers 8 Tbps of switching capacity supporting 32x100G, 6x400G connectivity
• Unified network and security policy through HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer
• Security ecosystem integration with third-party vendors
• Leverages existing AOS-CX Cloud Native Switching
• Distributed stateful segmentation, east-west firewalling, NAT, encryption, and telemetry services all delivered inline

Features | 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. CX 10000 models provide 3.2 Tbps for bidirectional switching and 2000 Mpps for forwarding. CX 10040 models offer 8 Tbps of switching capacity and 1.6 Tbps of L4 stateful inspection.

Limit Security Appliance Sprawl and Cost

The CX 10000 Series improves network bandwidth and performance by not having to trombone local traffic to a centralized chokepoint, helping improve security posture while limiting appliance sprawl complexity and cost.

The CX 10000 Series provides 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 1.6T of distributed microsegmentation, east-west firewalling, NAT, encryption, and telemetry services delivered inline across every port closer to critical enterprise applications.

HPE Aruba Networking CX 10040 32p QSFP28 100G 6p QSFP-DD 400G Front-to-Back 4xFan 2xPSU AC Bundle is a manageable switch for 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 400 Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It supports 100GBase-X and 10GBase-X, and is a 3 Layer Supported switch with 1700 W Power Consumption.

Designed for rack deployment, this 2U rack-mountable switch bundle includes front-to-back airflow, 4xFan, and 2xPSU AC. It uses Optical Fiber media.
