High Availability and performance
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6400 Switch Series uses a fully distributed architecture with Gen7 ASICs that deliver very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications.
The CX 6400 series features high-speed, non-blocking 1GbE, 10 GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE for scalable connectivity.
The ability to maintain a synchronous state across dual control planes allows a simplified carrier-class high-availability solution called HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) that enables a distributed architecture, which is available during upgrades or control plane events.
High-performance and versatile platform supports non-blocking 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE connections, and high-density connectivity for aggregation with up to 480 ports of HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit (1/2.5/5GbE) with 60W PoE for a total of 28,880W of PoE.
