The Aruba CX 8360 v2 Switch Series offers a flexible and innovative approach to addressing the application, security, and scalability demands of the mobile, cloud, and IoT era. These switches serve the needs of the next generation core and aggregation layer of campuses, as well as virtual and cloud data center environments. The first switch in this series is the Aruba CX 8360-48Y6C v2 switch.FeaturesModular Cloud-Native Architecture- The Aruba CX 8360 v2 Switch Series AOS-CX simplify the complexities of managing data center networks with automation options to match your IT organization’s operating model.- Proactively detect issues and speed troubleshooting with actionable insights provided by an analytics engine embedded in every switch. Always-on infrastructure designed for resiliency and upgrades with zero downtime.- REST APIs and Python scripting provide fine-grained microservices architecture enabling full integration with other workflow systems and services.- Continual state synchronization provides superior fault tolerance and high availability. Always-on infrastructure designed for resiliency and upgrades with zero downtime.Aruba Network Analytics Engine- The Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for advanced telemetry and automation. NAE is an industry-first monitoring and troubleshooting system, providing greatly improved network operations. NAE uniquely provides the ability to monitor and easily troubleshoot network health and congestion issues.- Customers can use data from The Time Series Database (TSDB) to store configuration and operational state to write software modules to troubleshoot problems. This data may also be used to analyze trends, identify anomalies, and predict future capacity requirements.High Availability and Resiliency- All software processes in the Aruba CX 8360 v2 Switch Series run as microservices that communicate via the state database of the switch; there is no direct communication between microservices. Should a software process crash, the impact of that failure will be limited.- The ability of ArubaOS-CX to maintain synchronous state across dual control planes allows a unique high availability solution called Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX).- Aruba VSX provides a robust, yet simple solution for high availability with a unique design for control plane synchronization and an architecture that is redundant in both hardware and software by deploying two chassis with an inter-switch link, maintaining its independent control.Software-Defined Automation- The Aruba CX 8360 v2 Switch Series is supported by Aruba Fabric Composer, a software-defined orchestration solution that simplifies and accelerates leaf-spine network provisioning and day-to-day operations across rack-scale compute and storage infrastructure.- Orchestrate a discrete set of switches as a single networking fabric to simplify operations and troubleshooting. This infrastructure and application-aware solution also automates various configuration and lifecycle events.

HPE Aruba Networking 9000 Series Branch Gateways provide high-performance networking, SD-WAN and security functionality in compact and cost-effective form factors. Ideally suited for branch and small campus networks, the 9000 series can be used as a wireless gateway for enhanced Wi-Fi scalability and security or for SD-WAN capabilities in the branch. Deploying this series as part of the HPE Aruba Networking SD-Branch solution is an affordable way to support multiple WAN connections, including the internet, MPLS, cellular, role-based policy enforcement, and path optimization. Designed with enterprise-grade capabilities and compact form factors, including an integrated LTE option, the 9000 Gateway can be easily configured and managed using HPE Aruba Networking Central, an AI-powered solution that simplifies IT operations, improves agility, and reduces costs by unifying management of all network infrastructure.What is new supporting point:The gateway provides connectivity for up to 2,048 users or client devices with up to 6 Gbps of firewall throughput.Layer 4-7 stateful firewall delivers a consistent user, device, and application awareness across WLAN, LAN, and WAN.Dynamic Segmentation for automated role-based policy enforcement across users, devices, and IoT.The 9004-LTE model provides integrated LTE connectivity for use as a dedicated or redundant WLAN uplink.Versatile cloud-managed edge appliance can be deployed as an SD-Branch gateway or as a wireless gateway for greater scalability.

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360 v2 Switch Series are designed for next-generation core and aggregation layer of campuses, as well as virtual and highly dynamic data center environments. Provide up to 4.8 Tbps switching capacity, with line-rate Gigabit Ethernet interfaces including support for HPE Smart Rate (1/2.5, 5 Gbps), 10 Gbps, 25 Gbps, 40 Gbps, 50 Gbps, and 100 Gbps connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. These switches deliver a fantastic investment for customers wanting to migrate from older 1 GbE/10 GbE to faster 25 GbE, or from 10 GbE/40 GbE uplinks to 50/100 GbE ports. In addition, the 48 and 32 x 25G port CX 8360 models support low-density MACsec ports and enable secured connectivity at 10 GbE and 25 GbE over unsecured domains. MACsec is also supported on 2 high-speed 40/100 G ports on the CX 8360 48-port model.What is new supporting point:48-port 1/10/25 G with 4 MACsec, 6-port of 40/100 G with 2 MACsec. MACsec secured connectivity over untrusted domains.High-performance 4.8 Tbps and 2,678 Mpps. 50G support on 8360-48Y6C, 32Y4C and 16Y2C switches. Addition of HPE Smart Rate (1/2.5/5/10 G) ports on the 836048XT4CIntelligent monitoring and visibility delivered by the HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE)High availability with industry-leading VSX redundancy and redundant power supplies and fans.
