Aruba CX 10000 Switch Series
The next evolution of switching architecture. The Aruba CX 10000 provides 800G of distributed stateful firewall for east-west traffic, zero-trust segmentation, and pervasive telemetry.
Distributed Services Switch
High-performance data center switching
3.6Tbps of switching capacity, 48 ports of line rate 10/25GbE (SFP/SFP+/SFP28), and 6 40/100GbE ports (QSFP+/QSFP28).
Programmable DPU (Pensando Elba)
800G of distributed stateful firewall for east-west traffic, zero-trust segmentation, pervasive telemetry, and in the future stateful NAT, encryption services.
Unified network and security policy
Centralized switch/network configurations and distributed firewall policy definitions orchestrated by Aruba Fabric Composer.
Security ecosystem integration
Integration with a wide variety of security and network performance tools including Advanced Security, Application Dependency Mapping and Performance Management.
Next Generation Migration
Stateful software-defined services, at scale, proving orders of magnitude scale and performance improvements over traditional data center L2/3 switches at a fraction of their TCO.
