High-performance, enterprise campus and data center switch

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 offers a flexible approach to addressing the application, security, and scalability demands of enterprise edge-cloud network connectivity requirements.

• Simplify your IT operations

With a cloud-native operating system, and intuitive software-defined orchestration tools, the CX 8100 helps to simplify operations, improve IT efficiency, and enable always-on network availability.

• Accelerate IT provisioning

HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer is a smart, software-defined orchestration solution that simplifies operations, increases network speed, and enhances overall infrastructure provisioning.

• Unique high availability

The ability of AOS-CX to maintain a synchronous state across dual control planes allows a unique high-availability solution called HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX). VSX is delivered through redundancy gained by deploying two chassis with an inter-switch link while each chassis maintains independent control.

• Increased visibility and control

AIOps offers real-time, network-wide visibility with analytics in every switch. HPE Aruba Networking’s next-generation AI uniquely combines network and user-centric analytics to not only identify and inform staff of anomalies, but also apply decades of networking expertise to analyze and provide prescriptive actions with greater than 95% accuracy.
