Aruba CX Switches are cloud-native, programmable enterprise switches from HPE with embedded analytics, automation, and scalable performance for modern campus, branch, and data centre networks. These switches help IT teams improve visibility, simplify operations, and support high-speed connectivity for cloud, mobile, and IoT workloads.
Aruba CX Switches are a family of high-performance, scalable network switches designed for modern cloud-centric, mobile, and IoT-driven enterprise environments. Built on the AOS-CX operating system, Aruba CX switches deliver programmable automation, deep analytics, robust security, and seamless management from access to core and data centre layers of the network.
With Aruba CX, organisations can simplify complex network tasks, proactively monitor network health, and optimise performance while enabling rapid deployment and future-ready scalability across distributed infrastructures.
Aruba CX switches are built on a microservices-based, programmable architecture that supports automation, flexibility, and easy integration with cloud and modular management platforms.
Integrated with the Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE), CX switches provide real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting insights to help IT teams detect and resolve issues before they impact users.
From access layer switches (e.g., CX 6100, CX 6200, CX 6300) to high-capacity core and data centre platforms (e.g., CX 6400, CX 8100, CX 8325), the Aruba CX portfolio scales to meet growing network demands with flexible stacking and modular options.
Built-in security capabilities such as Dynamic Segmentation extend policy enforcement across wired and wireless infrastructure, automatically applying consistent controls for users, devices, and IoT endpoints.
Aruba CX switches integrate seamlessly with HPE Aruba Central for unified wired, wireless, and WAN management from a single pane of glass. They also support a range of management options including CLI, Web GUI, REST APIs, and Aruba NetEdit automation tools.
The AOS-CX OS is a modern, database-centric system that supports real-time insights, programmability, and high availability, with built-in rollback and advanced automation features.
Aruba CX switches deliver flexible connectivity and policy enforcement for distributed enterprise fabrics, supporting edge computing, IoT growth, and multi-domain deployments.
Many CX models support multi-gigabit Ethernet, high PoE power delivery, and high-speed uplinks (including 10/25/40/100GbE) to meet demanding application and data-centre throughput requirements.
The cloud-native and programmable design of Aruba CX ensures your network adapts easily to changing business needs and emerging technologies.
Non-blocking architectures with high system switching capacity ensure consistent performance for demanding workloads and distributed applications.
Zero-touch provisioning and unified tools like Aruba Central and NetEdit significantly reduce deployment time and configuration errors.
Dynamic segmentation, role-based access control, and automated policy enforcement help safeguard network assets against advanced threats and unauthorised access.
Competitive pricing, lower operational costs via automation, and future-ready scalability support strong total cost of ownership across the lifecycle of your network infrastructure.
Aruba CX switches provide a resilient foundation for enterprise connectivity, ensuring consistent performance and reliability under heavy loads and evolving digital demands. Whether deployed at the edge, in campus core, or in data centres, the CX portfolio empowers IT teams with clarity, control, and confidence.
With built-in telemetry, proactive analytics, and integrated automation, managing network infrastructure becomes simpler and more effective. Aruba CX switches turn raw network data into meaningful insights that help streamline day-to-day operations.
Combining dependable hardware design with an intelligent operating system and rich feature set, Aruba CX switches provide robust, secure, and resilient operations, helping organisations maintain uptime and support mission-critical applications.
