Description
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000-48Y6C delivers revolutionary distributed services at the data center edge with wire-rate performance. Powered by dual programmable Pensando DPUs and the AOS-CX network operating system, this switch enables stateful segmentation, micro-segmentation, encryption, and telemetry inline across all ports. Ideal for high-performance, scale-out applications in hybrid cloud, co-location, and modern enterprise data centers, the CX 10000 switch streamlines security operations and simplifies application connectivity.
Designed with 48 SFP28 ports and 6 QSFP28 uplinks, this 1U switch provides 3.2 Tbps switching capacity and up to 2000 Mpps forwarding. The bundle includes dual hot-swappable power supplies and fans with back-to-front airflow. Integrated with Fabric Composer for unified management and automation, the CX 10000 significantly reduces operational complexity, appliance sprawl, and TCO.
