Product Differentiators
AOS-CX - A modern software system
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a modern, database-driven operating system built on a modular Linux architecture. Benefits include:
- Easy access to all network configuration state information
- REST APIs for fine-grained programmability of network tasks
- A micro-services architecture enabling full integration with other workflow systems and services
- All software processes communicate with the database rather than each other, ensuring near real-time state and resiliency
HPE Aruba Networking ASICs - Programmable innovation
Based on over 30 years of continuous investment, HPE Aruba Networking's ASICs provide innovative software feature advancements, unparalleled performance, and deep visibility. The CX 6000 Switch Series uses this ASIC architecture for optimized performance and capacity.
Access Layer Performance
