HPE Aruba 8400 8-slot Chassis

The past several decades in networking have been defined by static, closed networking solutions designed for the client-server era. The Aruba CX 8400 Switch Series, a campus core and aggregation switch, is a game-changing solution that offers an innovative approach to dealing with the demands of the mobile, cloud and IOT era. With a modern, fully programmable ArubaOS-CX running in a carrier-grade chassis, the 8400 extends intelligence in the Mobile First Architecture from the network edge to the core. ArubaOS-CX is a modern software system that automates and simplifies critical and complex network tasks, delivers enhanced fault tolerance and facilitates zero-service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events. The CX 8400 Switch Series provides line rate 10GbE, 25 GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE in a modular chassis and together with the compact 1U Aruba 8320 Switch Series, rounds out the Aruba Mobile First switching portfolio with an enterprise core and aggregation solution.
