Simplified IT Operations
The Aruba CX 8360 Switch Series simplifies network design and operations for both campus and emerging enterprise edge data centers by offering a consistent, cloud-native architecture and operating model that spans switching platforms and deployment domains.
Aruba AOS-CX end-to-end operating system enables a consistent operator experience across the network with full automation, security, and visibility. Tight integration into other 3rd party management stacks (HCI and Virtualized) for a seamless configuration and operational experience.
Aruba AOS-CX provides an always-on, resilient network operating system and infrastructure that automatically isolates software failures and provides for non-disruptive recovery.
Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) provides a redundant architecture in both hardware and software to facilitate no downtime-even during upgrades-across campus and data center networks.
-
Accelerated Service Provisioning
The Aruba CX 8360 Switch Series speeds infrastructure provisioning with software-defined fabric automation and orchestration.
REST APIs and Python scripting provide fine-grained programmability. Microservices architecture enables full integration with other workflow systems and services.
Aruba NetEdit empowers IT teams to orchestrate configuration changes across multiple switches using intelligent automation and analytics, verifying service rollouts are consistent, conformant, and error-free.
Supports API-driven based, software-defined orchestration with Aruba Fabric Composer to simplify and accelerates leaf-spine network fabric provisioning across rack-scale compute and storage infrastructure.
