The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Series addresses the needs of modern campus core and aggregation, as well as dynamic top-of-rack (ToR) data center environments, offering a flexible and innovative approach to meeting the application, security, and scalability requirements of mobile, cloud, and IoT. HPE CX 8100 Switches are powered by AOS-CX, a modern software system that automates and simplifies critical and complex network tasks. They are programmable with REST APIs and Python scripts, and provide enhanced fault tolerance and uninterrupted operation during planned or unplanned control plane events. Each switch also provides real-time, network-wide visibility and analytics. The series includes industry-leading line-rate 1/10GbE (SFP/SFP+) and 40/100GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. 4×10 Gbps and 4×25 Gbps with breakout cables on 40/100 Gbps. These switches are ideal for customers requiring 1 GbE/10 GbE from a combination of fiber and copper ports.

Main features

Modular cloud-native architecture
– The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series with AOS-CX simplifies the complex management of data center networks with automation options that adapt to your IT organization's operating model.
– Proactively detect issues and accelerate troubleshooting with actionable insights provided by an analytics engine built into each switch. The 24/7 infrastructure is designed for resiliency and zero-downtime upgrades.
– REST APIs and Python scripts enable fine-grained integration with other workflow systems and services.
– Continuous state synchronization provides excellent fault tolerance and high availability. The continuously available infrastructure is designed for resiliency and zero-downtime upgrades.

Aruba Network Analytics Engine
– The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series leverages the Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for advanced telemetry and automation to provide industry-leading monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities that significantly improve network operations.
– Customers can use data from the time series database (TSDB) to store configuration and operating status and write software modules for troubleshooting. This data can also be used for trend analysis, anomaly identification, and predict future capacity requirements.

High availability and reliability
– All software processes in the HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series run as microservices that communicate through the switch's state database; there is no direct communication between microservices. In the event of a software crash, the impact of the disruption would be limited.
– AOS-CX's ability to maintain synchronous state across two control planes enables a unique high-availability solution – the Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX).
– Aruba VSX offers a robust yet simple high-availability solution with a unique control plane synchronization design and a hardware and software redundant architecture. It deploys two chassis with an inter-switch link, maintaining their independent control.

Software-defined automation
– The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series is powered by Aruba Fabric Composer, an intelligent, API-driven, software-defined orchestration solution that simplifies and accelerates the deployment of leaf-spine networks and the day-to-day operations of rack-mounted compute and storage infrastructures.
– They orchestrate a discrete group of switches as a unified network fabric to simplify operations and troubleshooting. This infrastructure- and application-specific solution also automates various configuration and lifecycle events.
