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 highly dynamic data center environments. They provide up to 3.6Tbps of capacity, with line-rate Gigabit Ethernet interfaces including support for Smart Rate (1/2.5, 5 Gbps), 10Gbps, 25Gbps, 40Gbps, 50 Gbps, and 100Gbps. The 8360 series includes industry-leading line rate ports with 1/10/25/50GbE (SFP/SFP+/SFP28) and 40/100GbE (QSFP+/ QSFP28) connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. 4x10Gbps and 4x25Gbps break out from 40/100G ports offer advanced flexibility in connectivity and aggregation. These switches deliver a fantastic investment for customers wanting to migrate from older 1GbE/10GbE to faster 25GbE, or from 10GbE/40GbE uplinks to 50/100GbE ports. In addition, the 48 and 32 x 25G port 8360 models support low- density MACsec ports and enable secured connectivity at 10GbE and 25GbE over unsecured domains. And MACsec with 2 x40/100G port with the 48x25 8360 model. PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATORS The Aruba CX 8360 switch series is based on ArubaOS-CX, a modern, database-driven operating system that automates and simplifies many critical and complex tasks. The enhanced capabilities of ArubaOS-CX provide a unique set of differentiators for campus and data center switching. Modular Architecture with native cloud-native Aruba OS-CX AOS-CX operating system features are organized into HPE Aruba Networking CX Foundation and HPE Aruba Networking CX Advanced software licenses. Every HPE Aruba Networking CX switch includes an active, embedded HPE Aruba Networking CX Foundation license at no additional cost with the option to upgrade to an HPE Aruba Networking CX Advanced license. The CX Foundation license has everything needed to deploy, connect, and troubleshoot an enterprise network, including: - HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE)
- Dynamic Segmentation
- Switch Stacking
- High Availability and Resiliency
- Quality of Service (QoS)
- Layer 2 Switching
- Layer 3 Services and Routing
- IP Multicast
- Network Security
- Support for HPE Aruba Networking NetEdit
The HPE Aruba Networking CX Advanced license includes HPE Aruba Networking CX Edge Insights, offering deep visibility with application recognition, identification, and flow capture from layer 4 to layer 7. For more information on the CX Advanced License, read the HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch License Ordering Guide HPE Aruba Networking OS-CX is built on a modular Linux architecture with OVSDB*, providing the following unique capabilities: Safe and powerful access to all state at all times allows unique visibility and analytics capabilities - Safe and powerful access to all state at all times allows unique visibility and analytics capabilities
- REST APIs and Python scripting provide fine-grained microservices architecture enabling full integration with other workflow systems and services
- Supports HPE Aruba Networking 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.
- Continual state synchronization provides superior fault tolerance and high availability
- All software processes communicate with the database rather than with each other, ensuring high stability with minimal inter-process communication
