Overview
Aruba CX 8100 Ethernet Switch - Manageable - 25 Gigabit Ethernet, 100 Gigabit Ethernet - 25GBase-X, 100GBase-X - 3 Layer Supported - 500 W Power Consumption - Optical Fiber - 1U - Compact, Rack-mountable - Lifetime Limited Warranty (part number S6B77A) is supplied by Uniqcli, an authorized HPE & Juniper partner, in the HPE Switches & Bridges category. Manageable: Yes.
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series serves 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 addressing the application, security, and scalability demands of the mobile, cloud, and IoT. The CX 8100 switches are based on HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX) that automates and simplifies critical network tasks, offers programmability with REST APIs and Python scripts, delivers enhanced fault tolerance and zero-service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events. Real-time, network-wide visibility and analytics are available in every switch. The series includes industry-leading line rate ports with 1/10 GbE (SFP/SFP+) and 40/100 GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. 4x10 Gbps and 4x25 Gbps break out from 40/100 G. These switches are great for customers needing 1 GbE/10 GbE with mix of fiber and copper ports. Features | Modular Cloud-Native Architecture HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series features HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOSCX) which 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. HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE) HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series utilizes the HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for advanced telemetry and automation to provide industry-first monitoring and troubleshooting systems that greatly improves network operations. 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 HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 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 AOS-CX to maintain synchronous state across dual control planes allows a unique high availability solution called HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX). HPE Aruba Networking 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.
• High-performance 1.76 Tbps of bidirectional switching and 1,309 Mpps of forwarding designed for aggregation in the campus or top-ofrack in data center environments. • Four different base models, each sold in bundles that support two airflow modes (Front to Back, and Back to Front) with Advanced Layer 2/3 feature set that includes BGP, OSPF, VRF, and IPv6. • High availability with industry-leading VSX redundancy and redundant power supplies and fans. • HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX) automation and programmability using built-in REST APIs and Python scripts • Intelligent monitoring and visibility delivered by the HPE Aruba Networking Networks Analytics Engine (NAE)
